Hints

•You could repeat the same protocol by simply click- ing the chronicle with the right mouse button for “repeat“, e.g., when both non-contrast and contrast studies are required.

•Water, rather than positive oral contrast agents should be used. Give the last cup 200 ml just prior positioning the patient. To ensure adequate filling of the duodenal loop, lay the patient on the right side for 5 minutes before performing the topogram.

•A pre-contrast examination is usually performed only if no CT scans were previously acquired, to exclude calculi in the common bile duct and to visu- alize possible lesions in the liver.
