Because of availability and low radiation dose level, low dose computed tomography (CT) is now commonly used to identify illicit in corpore drug transportation. This review illustrates the most common CT findings of in corpore drug transportation and describes complications due to in corpore drug transportation, with a special emphasis on low dose CT. Major information such as number of packets, exact location and aspect of packets must be assessed. Radiologist must be aware of the imaging characteristics of "in corpore" illicit drug transportation, and should know situations that may alter drug smugglers management.
由于可用性和低辐射剂量水平,低剂量计算机断层扫描(CT)现在常用于识别体内非法药物运输。本综述说明了体内药物运输的最常见 CT 表现,并描述了由于体内药物运输引起的并发症,特别强调了低剂量 CT。必须评估主要信息,如包裹数量、确切位置和包裹外观。放射科医生必须了解“体内”非法药物运输的影像学特征,并且应该知道可能改变毒品走私者管理的情况。
