The Impact of Oral Contrast in Multidetector CT of the Abdomen and Pelvis on Radiologist Confidence
Status unconfirmed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Routine Outpatients Undergoing Contrast Enhanced CT Scan of the Abdomen and Pelvis
In brief
The investigators seek to demonstrate the non-superiority of oral contrast versus no oral contrast in intravenously enhanced CT in the outpatient setting. The investigators want to decrease preparation time for the patient and decrease delay in obtaining the study which will ultimately lead to faster results and an increased level of patient convenience. The investigators hypothesis: Oral contrast does not significantly affect the diagnostic confidence of interpreting radiologists in intravenously enhanced abdominal CT scans.
