Table 1 Change in vBMD after contrast administration

From: The impact of imaging time and contrast agent dose on screening for osteoporosis with contrast-enhanced CT

	CT perfusion	4-phase CT	p value (paired)
vBMD increase^a
ARTERIAL	10.0 + 6.2	14.9 + 5.7	0.001
VENOUS	12.0 + 5.1	16.1 + 6.6	0.002

^aIncrease compared to non-contrast phase. ARTERIAL = 30 s and VENOUS = 63 s post-contrast injection
