Iodinated contrast media
Iodinated contrast media are contrast agents that contain iodine atoms used for x-ray-based imaging modalities such as computed tomography (CT). They can also be used in fluoroscopy, angiography and venography, and even occasionally, plain radiography. Although the intravenous route of administr...

Contrast-enhanced mammography
There are 2 types of contrast-enhanced mammography examination – temporal subtraction and dual-energy.
Initial work in the early 2000s used temporal subtraction, but artifacts due to patient movement during prolonged compression limited its diagnostic usefulness. Travieso et al produced a usef...

Double contrast barium enema technique
Double contrast barium enema (DCBE) technique is a method of imaging the colon with fluoroscopy. "Double contrast" refers to imaging with the positive contrast of barium sulfate contrast medium (rarely water-soluble iodinated contrast) as well as with the negative contrast of gas (CO2 preferable...

Pineal and tectal plate protocol (MRI)
MRI protocol for the pineal and tectal plate assessment is a group of MRI sequences put together to best approach tumors involving this region.
The pineal region is best imaged with MRI although CT, angiography, and ultrasound (in infants) also play a role. Please refer to the article pineal r...

Step-oblique mammography
Step-oblique mammography is an accurate technique for determining whether a mammographic finding visible on multiple images on only one projection (but not elucidated using standard additional mammographic projections) represents a summation artifact or a true mass and for precisely localizing t...
Article
Contrast media extravasation
Contrast media extravasation (CMEV) refers to the leakage of intravenously-administered contrast media from the normal intravascular compartment into surrounding soft tissues; it is a well-known complication of contrast-enhanced CT. It can also occur in MRI, but the complications are rare given ...
Article
Late arterial phase
The late arterial phase, also known as the corticomedullary phase or early venous portal phase, is a contrast-enhanced CT or MRI series, in which there is an optimal enhancement of structures that get their blood supply directly from the arterial system.
