OBJECTIVE. For unknown reasons, there is discordance among previous reports with
regard to the association of contrast medium (CM) with nephropathy and the incidence of …

Purpose To determine the effect of baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) on
the causal association between intravenous iodinated contrast material exposure and …

Objectives Radiocontrast nephropathy (RCN) is a known complication of procedures in
which intravascular iodinated contrast material is used. The authors sought to determine the …

Purpose Catheter-directed computed tomography angiography (CCTA) has been shown to
reduce the contrast volumes required in conventional CTA, thus minimizing the risk of …

In a recent paper, the authors oppose the opinion that “intra-arterial administration of
iodinated-based contrast media (CM) appears to pose a greater risk of contrast-induced …

Introduction: Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN), defined as an increase in serum
creatinine (SCr) greater than 25% or≥ 0.5 mg/dL within 3 days of intravenous (IV) contrast …

PURPOSE: To determine the percentage of outpatients with elevated serum creatinine
levels (≥ 2.0 mg/dL [177 μmol/L]) and associated reported risk factors for contrast material …

Extravasation of contrast medium during injection, especially when doing contrast-enhanced
CT, is now a common problem. The risk factors include patient factors, the class of contrast …

AIM To evaluate whether preflushing before connecting a power injector to a patient's
catheter reduces the incidence of venous air embolism (VAE) in contrast-enhanced …

Last month, the American College of Radiology and National Kidney Foundation published
a consensus statement on the use of intravenous contrast media in patients with preexisting …
