Clinical Highlights of Saline Flush

Reduce Image Artifacts

Using a saline flush helps minimise the streak artifacts that often occur as the superior vena cava empties into the right heart.

Improve and Increase Peak Contrast Enhancement

Using a saline flush pushes the contrast through the vascular system.

Controlled Timing of Contrast Bolus

Using a saline flush creates a tight contrast bolus that enables precise timing of contrast in the vascular system, which is essential for multi-slice CT scanning.

Optimise Contrast Usage

Using a saline flush can prevent pooling of contrast in veins and the contrast connection line.
