MRI and CT contrast media extravasation

چکیده
BACKGROUND This systematic review combines data from multiple papers on contrast media extravasation to identify factors contributing to increased extravasation risk. METHODS Data were extracted from 17 papers reporting 2191 extravasations in 1,104,872 patients (0.2%) undergoing computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). RESULTS Extravasation rates were 0.045% for gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCA) and nearly 6-fold higher, 0.26% for iodinated contrast agents. Factors associated with increased contrast media extravasations included: older age, female gender, using an existing intravenous (IV) instead of placing a new IV in radiology, in-patient status, use of automated power injection, high injection rates, catheter location, and failing to warm up the more viscous contrast media to body temperature. CONCLUSION Contrast media extravasation is infrequent but nearly 6 times less frequent with GBCA for MRI compared with iodinated contrast used in CT.

Induction of DNA damage, apoptosis and micronuclei in peripheral blood lymphocytes following injection of contrast media in patients with abdominal CT scan
Background: Medical diagnostic procedures such as X-ray and computed Tomography (CT) scan account for considerable percent of patient's exposure to ionizing radiation. The exposure of cells to Ionization radiation results in induction of DNA damage and chromosomal aberrations. Contrast media (CM) are widely used in diagnostic radiology and CT scan. The aim of this study was to study adverse gen...
متن کاملFeasibility of dual pharmacokinetic modeling using Gd-DTPA/MRI and F-FDG/PET
INTRODUCTION MRI-PET bimodal imaging is already a reality in fundamental and clinical research. Reaching the full potential of such dual imaging approaches for broader clinical acceptance may be through new methodologies that take advantages of one modality to compensate for the limitations of the other. The arterial input function (AIF) is commonly used for several types of MRI and PET pharmac...

Introduction: DSC-MRI data from tumors may be confounded by the extravasation of contrast agent (CA) into the extravascular extracellular space (EES), which results in simultaneous changes in the EES T1 and T2*. It is well known that dual-echo acquisitions can eliminate the T1 leakage effects, but we recently demonstrated that such data, when combined with a pre-contrast T1 map, can also be use...
متن کاملAssessment of Contrast Media Volume Injected and Image Contrast in Abdominal Pelvic CT Scan and Related Factors in Referral Hospitals in Mazandaran, Iran
Background and purpose: Computed tomography scan (CT) is highly capable of diagnosing abdominal and pelvic lesions. Injection of contrast media at appropriate concentration and volume provides the least side effects and the highest image quality. This study aimed at investigating the volume of contrast medium injected and the level of image contrast compared to the standard model, in the imagi...

INTRODUCTION: Dynamic susceptibility contrast MRI (DSC-MRI) is a novel tool that has shown promise to increase the predictive power of diagnostic imaging, for example in the assessment of brain tumor grade [1]. Alterations in microvascular parameters such as blood volume and vascular permeability induced by pathological angiogenesis are detectable with DSC-MRI. However, the basic assumptions of...
