Abstract

In neuroimaging, iodine-based contrast agents are administered intravenously when acquiring CT images mainly for evaluating infectious and inflammatory conditions and tumors. Intravenous administration of iodine-based contrast agents are also an essential part of CT and conventional catheter angiography and CT perfusion studies. Iodine contrast agents can also be administered at different concentrations intrathecally into the subarachnoid space for performing myelography or cisternography and into the ventricular system for performing ventriculography.
