Also, increase in dose can vary with certain radiolgist groups.
In this area, US Midwest, on ABD/ABD PELVIS scans, so many groups demand delayed imaging through the abdomen. So they inject, scan, get the series, and then wait on the order of 5 to 8 minutes and scan again diaphragm through the crest of the pelvis. And it’s done on damn near every patient. I can understand it on a trauma situation
That’s a lot of extra dose for low yield return on most patients.
