Viscosity of iodinated CT contrast agents goes down by roughly 50%, when warmed up to body temperature, instead of room temperature, from what I read from a 2017 radiological conference.

I believe it. Now if we can get the technicians to do it. It was probably only in the last year or so since I became aware of it. Probably through you, lol. I’m sure many of them never got the directive. The particular installation I went to is like an iceberg normally. I still would like to know the volumetric (size) amount that is used. It would be interesting to compare to my 1 and 1/2 inch long damaged section. Reckon that is what happened to Bill Clinton, lol.

Either way, with the newer systems coming online you can still bet “advanced” contrast agents just as damaging if not more so are being considered.
