The rapidity of spiral (helical-) computed tomography requires new protocols for i.v. contrast media administration. Flow rate, volume and delay are discussed controversially in the literature. Hence, a consensus meeting was initiated. In this meeting, problem related questions were designed, discussed and answered using a digital vote system. Spiral-CT-technology was found to be the ideal examination technique for thorax, liver, pancreas, kidney and the retroperitoneal space with an overall agreement between 89 and 97%. The exclusive use of nonionic contrast media and power injectors was recommended by 100% of the participants. More than 90% of the contributors did not accept native scans only for examinations of the neck, thorax, liver, pancreas, kidney and the retroperitoneal space. Regarding volume, flow rate, delay and physical CT-parameters the agreement laid between 50 and 100%. The meeting concluded that randomised controlled studies should be performed to evaluate detailed contrast media protocols for helical CT.
Although four types of meningitis/encephalitis must be reported by the Federal Communicable Disease Act since 1980, the incidence of etiologically not identified cases is constant over the years. We report on the first results in 1097 patients with meningitis who were examined by microbiological methods. These examinations were free of charge for the clinics in Berlin.
