Fig. 3From: Has “respiratory coaching” before deep inspiration an impact on the incidence of transient contrast interruption during pulmonary CT angiography? Transverse CT pulmonary angiogram at the level of the pulmonary trunk bifurcation (a) and 1 cm below (b) in a 59-year-old man. Pulmonary artery attenuation (arrows) is around 220 HU in a and shows higher density in b (around 300 HU), but the pulmonary artery is less enhanced than the aorta (arrowhead), pulmonary veins, and superior vena cava. Patient was considered as presenting a grade 3 transient interruption of contrast (TIC) by both observersBack to article page
