CT Area of Interest Without and With IV Contrast There is no relevant literature to support the use of CT area of interest without and with IV contrast as the initial imaging modality in infants with infantile hemangiomas. In the study by Koplewitz et al [20], noncontrast and contrast-enhanced CT scans were performed. It was found that the lesions appeared larger after IV contrast was given and that the complete extent and localization of the lesion could be best defined. Soft Tissue Vascular Anomalies-Child CT Area of Interest Without IV Contrast There is no relevant literature to support the use of CT area of interest without IV contrast as the initial imaging modality in infants with infantile hemangiomas. CTA and CTV Area of Interest With IV Contrast There is no relevant literature to support the use of CT angiography (CTA) or CT venography (CTV) area of interest with IV contrast as the initial imaging modality in infants with infantile hemangiomas. MRA and MRV Area of Interest Without and With IV Contrast Dynamic MR angiography (MRA) and MR venography (MRV) with IV contrast of untreated infantile hemangiomas is capable of showing supplying arterial and draining venous vessels [15]. MRI Area of Interest Without and With IV Contrast MRI of the area of interest without and with IV contrast in patients with infantile hemangiomas may be useful when clinically determining the complete extent of the lesion is not possible, such as when the infantile hemangiomas of the face and deep facial structures or periorbital and intraorbital extent must be defined, when lumbosacral region infantile hemangiomas are present and underlying tethering or other spinal cord anomaly may be present, and there are beard-type infantile hemangiomas that occupy the pharyngeal region and may affect the oropharyngeal airway.
