- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>To evaluate the degree of patient discomfort during the injection of CM at room<br /><br>temperature (20*C) with a concentration of 300 mg/ml, compared to pre-warmed CM<br /><br>(37*C). We hypothesize that there is a disadvantage in patient comfort when CM<br /><br>is not preheated. We will evaluate general comfort levels, as well as vasovagal<br /><br>reactions, CM extravasation, shivering, cold feeling and goosebumps after CM<br /><br>injection. It is expected that the differences in CM temperatures will not<br /><br>influence subjective and objective IQ. Th</p><br>
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p> Injection parameters (e.g. time to peak, bolus homogeneity and time pressure<br /><br>curve) will be evaluated. </p><br>
