Evaluation of the Practice of Performing Abdominal CT Scan with Manually Administered Fixed Dose of Contrast in Achieving Adequate Hepatic Enhancement: An Institutional-Based Cross-Sectional Study

<div>Axial precontrast (a) and postcontrast portal venous phase (b); axial CT scans at the same level taken in TASH, 2022 G.C, show mean hepatic attenuation at the four different locations of measurement. Mean hepatic attenuation was 64 HU on precontrast and 76.5 HU on PVP with CEI of 12.6 HU which is significantly lower than the expected minimum CEI of 50 HU.</div>
