Abstract
Patients [50] undergoing cranial computed tomography had expanded-high-I-dose (EHID) scans. The EHID was given either as an additional bolus dose (37-40 g I) after a routine infusion contrast scan (42.3 g), or as a continuous infusion (total 74-80 g). Disease presented include primary and metastatic neoplasm, pituitary neoplasm and demyelinating disease. The primary usefulness of the EHID is in detecting multiple rather than solitary brain lesions, the definitive demonstration of an equivocal area of abnormal enhancement and differentiating solid histologically microcystic from frankly macrocystic neoplasms.
