Chest Vessels and Arteries


Ct is used to diagnose several illnesses and certain pathologies. One of the main ways we determine a person has a pe is by CT scans. You must use contrast when performing this scan. The contrast is injected with a power injector at a high volume rate. a trigger is used to determine the brightness of the contrast.
