| Abstract: | ![]()
Of 276 patients undergoing CT using a power injector to deliver contrast material, 71 (26%) demonstrated a pseudothrombus in the suprarenal inferior vena cava. This occurs much more commonly than in patients injected by hand and is a potential pitfall in interpreting these scans. |
