native contrast imaging Explanation: I am not sure why none of the French colleagues step in here. As far as I can see, the "contraste spontané" is just the natural contrast seen between tissues when no contrast-enhancing agent is applied. You might call this a "native scan" or, to be closer to the source text, a scan using "native contrast". And, yes, I agree: "spontaneous contrast" is used for ultrasound imaging only. |

non-contrast imaging Explanation: I hadn't realized until I saw Anne's answer that "native contrast" is also used. I usually use "non-contrast" and it seems to be the more common way of describing a scan that is performed without injecting a contrast agent. You will also see "with contrast" and "without contrast." -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 days (2018-04-02 17:48:44 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://appliedradiology.com/articles/study-non-contrast-abdo... https://www.oregonimaging.com/Content/Forms/Physician%20Forms/CT%20Information/CT%20Exams%20Contrast%20vs%20Non-Contrast.pdf?v=34201875738PM |
