A member asked:
Reading a ct scan report. what does unopacified vasculature and decreased enhancement mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Technical: Usually during a CT scan, a contrast agent is injected intravenously. That agent is seen primarily in blood vessels. Unopacified vasculature means blood vessels which do not contain contrast, either because none was administered, or because there is diminished blood flow into those vessels. Decreased enhancement means that the area described doesn't appear in high contrast on the CT scan.
