The risk of radiologic procedures is determined by different factors including contrast media, type of disease, procedure and skill of the physician. To reduce the contrast media-related risk, it is wise to use low osmolar contrast media (LOCM) in high-risk patients. When there is negligible cost difference between LOCM and other contrast media, it is wise to use LOCM for all patients. If an al...
