From: Evaluation of liver parenchyma and perfusion using dynamic contrast-enhanced computed tomography and contrast-enhanced ultrasonography in captive green iguanas (Iguana iguana) under general anesthesia

Figure 3

Representative dynamic CT study of an iguana included in the study. No vascular enhancement is present in the vessels just after the contrast medium injection (A); the contrast medium is present in the caudal vena cava, but not in the aorta 3 seconds after injection (B); 36 seconds after injection is well visible in all the liver parenchyma (C), and after 600 seconds from the injection start, the contrast medium it is still mildly appreciable (D). Beam hardening (arrowheads - A) and blooming (arrows – B) artifacts are present due to ribs, and the pool of contrast medium in the caudal vena cava respectively.
