Simulation showed that the time span in which the tissue enhancement remained within 10% of its peak value was similar across all capillary densities and ranged between 26\u221238 s for a capillary density of 80 per mm to 30\u201360 s for a capillary density of 10.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>The plateau tissue enhancement clinically acquired in the \u201clate arterial phase\u201d should be adequate both for the detection of hypervascular liver lesions such as HCCs and for obtaining peak pancreatic enhancement to detect hypovascular lesions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/a-2516-3176","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,6]],"date-time":"2025-02-06T19:13:41Z","timestamp":1738869221000},"page":"1405-1415","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Is there a need for a CT scan of the pancreatic phase?
