Patient Preparation

Bony and cartilaginous structures such as the central airway and bronchial tree, the osteomeatal system of the Paranasal Sinuses are inherently filled with air and therefore ideal for performing Virtual CT Endoscopy.

No special preparations are required.

For CT endoscopic evaluation of the vessel (virtual CT angioscopy), a good CTA data set with good vessel enhancement is required.

In the case of CT colonography, adequate preparation in bowel cleaning must be done prior to the CT exam. The bowel can be delineated with air, carbon dioxide, water or iodine/barium suspension.
