Calculating the Dosage of Contrast Media Recommended For a Person My Size

 

The dosage of intravenous contrast media is calculated according to a patient’s weight (Rogers & Tadi, 2022). I weigh 65kg. The dosage of contrast media is calculated using the formulae 2ml/kg; therefore:

1kg = 2ml

65kg = 65 × 2 = 130mls
