Many patients undergo computed tomography examination with contrast medium injection for improved diagnostic accuracy. In practice, it is tempting to use an implanted port to inject contrast medium in patients with poor peripheral access. We present a case of extravasation after intravenous contrast injection using a power injector through an implanted port. Several errors could have been avoided by exercising caution. A radiologist with knowledge of implanted ports should assist the clinician during patient management.

透過植入端口注入造影劑後電腦斷層掃描檢查的併發症：病例報告
J Yoon、S Kim、JH Jo
不少患者進行電腦斷層掃描檢查時會注射造影劑，以提高診斷準確性。對於外周靜脈通路不良的患者，臨床上也可通過植入端口注射造影劑。本文報告使用自動注射器通過植入端口注射靜脈造影劑後外滲的情況。如過程中謹慎行事可避免錯誤。了解植入端口放射科醫師應在治理患者期間為臨床醫生提供協助。
