Computed Tomographic Cavo-Urography: Lower-Extremity Contrast Infusion Simultaneous with Computed Tomography of the Retroperitoneum

Abstract

Successful opacification and istention of the [human] inferior vena cava was obtained simultaneously with computed tomography by contrast infusion through a lower-extremity vein. Images obtained by this method displayed retroperitoneal anatomical relationships to better advantage, permitting more accurate interpretation of the upper retroperitoneum, particulary in lymphoma.
