Living at the K-edge: is it iodine forever?
Marc Kachelrieß, Heidelberg / Germany
  1. To learn how contrast agents interact with CT scanners to produce clinical results.
  2. To understand the possibilities from photon-counting and energy-discriminating CT.
  3. To understand the potential of contrast agents other than iodine combined with new CT technology.

Shaken not stirred: contrast cocktails a new possibility
Hubertus Pietsch, Berlin / Germany
  1. To understand why iodine is a good contrast agent in CT.
  2. To understand what other possibilities there are for the development of new contrast agents.
  3. To discuss the pharmacological possibilities of a combined cocktail of energy-discriminating contrast agents.

More and less: more applications, less contrast concentration in a sustainable world
Dominik Juskanic, Nitra / Slovakia
  1. To understand why iodine provides such good clinical applications.  
  2. To understand the clinical possibilities for new contrast agents and CT scanner technologies.
  3. To discuss the clinical possibilities of combined or energy-discriminating contrast agents.
