Dynamic incremental computed tomography of the pulmonary hila using a flow-rate injector.
Dynamic incremental CT of the pulmonary hila using a flow-rate injector is a safe, reliable, and reproducible technique. The technique described allows confident distinction of hilar masses from hilar vessels, while limiting the total amount of contrast medium used and eliminating radiation exposure to the radiologist.
