NCT02433665

Brief Summary

  1. 1.To determine if a formula derived from PCA using specific patient parameters can be used to determine the individual contrast material dose and provide a more consistent level of vascular and parenchymal enhancement during MDCT scanning of the abdomen and pelvis.
  2. 2.Up to 500 adult patients referred for a "CT of the abdomen and pelvis with contrast material" will be recruited to participate in this trial. Single CT axial slices (n=2) will be obtained at the level of the L4 pedicle and the supra-acetabular pelvis using a field-of-view that includes all of the patient. From patient measurements (height, weight, body dimensions), a customized dose of contrast material will be specified according to the derived formula for 400 subjects. One hundred subjects will receive the usual fixed contrast dose.
  3. 3.Enhancement data in HU will be measured from the CT scans using manually-placed ROIs on the upper abdominal aorta, main portal vein and liver parenchyma, avoiding visible liver tumors, major blood vessels and artifacts, if present. This enhancement data will be used to determine the patient-to-patient variability.

  • Variability in Enhancement Data, Measured in Hounsfield Units (HU)

    During CT scan, approximately 5 minutes

Study Arms (2)

Fixed dose

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

100 of the first 200 subjects will be randomized to a fixed dose of contrast material.

Drug: Iopamidol

Customized dose

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

100 of the first 200 subjects will be randomized to a customized dose of contrast material based on the experimental algorithm. The second group of 300 subjects will receive a customized dose of contrast material based on the experimental algorithm.

Drug: IopamidolDevice: Mydose

Interventions

Iopamidol is the contrast material being used for this study. 100 subjects will receive a fixed dose and rate (150 mL of iopamidol with a concentration of 300 mg of iodine/mL at an injection rate of 3 mL/sec for a total dose of 45 grams of iodine) and 400 subjects will be administered a customized dose and rate (X mL of iopamidol with a concentration of 300 mg of iodine/mL at an injection rate of X mL/sec for a total dose of X grams of iodine).

Customized doseFixed dose
MydoseDEVICE

400 subjects will receive a customized dose of contrast material (iopamidol) based on the experimental algorithm Mydose using a combination of subject parameters.
