The magnitude and time course of contrast enhancement in spontaneous canine brain tumors was determined for two contrast agents: meglumine iothalamate and sodium meglumine ioxaglate. Tumor enhancement during contrast infusion and at 5, 10, 15, 30 and 45 minutes was measured using quantitative computed tomography. Blood iodine was measured using x-ray fluorescence. Peak contrast enhancement occu...

Methods 19 patients (m/f-16/3, mean age 59,6± 2,0 years) with history of myocardial infarction ( >1 year) were prospectively enrolled in the study. The CCTA protocol consisted of prospectively gated CTA and DECT. DECT was performed with single-tube 64-row CT in gemstone spectral imaging (GSI) mode with 8 min delay after contrast media injection. Using a 4-point transmurality scale CCTA images w...

Nadczynność tarczycy indukowana jodem dotyczy szczególnie pacjentów oddziałów chorób wewnętrznych i kardiologii w podeszłym wieku, obciążonych wieloma chorobami, dla któr...

Iodide mumps is an uncommon condition induced by iodide-containing contrast. We present the first reported case of iodide mumps in mainland China, which occurred after carotid artery intervention.The patient, a 65-year-old Chinese male, had a history of dizziness, hypertension, diabetes, and right arm weakness. He had no history of allergies and had never previously received iodide-containing c...

OBJECTIVE Residual renal function (RRF) is an important predictor of outcome in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Hypoalbuminemia was found to be an independent risk factor for the development of acute kidney injury. We investigated the possibility of an association between serum albumin levels and the development of iodine contrast media-induced nephropathy (CIN) in PD patients. METHODS A t...

Contrast Media is used in angiography, urography and tomography. It has been reported that contrast media nephrotoxicity incidence is 50% higher in patients with diabetic nephropathy undergoing coronary angiography and approximately 15% of these patients developed renal failure. Proteomic analyses are a promising tool to study renal pathophysiology. In the future identification of biomarkers in...

PURPOSE To present a new combination of imaging techniques that helps reduce the use of iodinated contrast during endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) procedures in patients with renal insufficiency. TECHNIQUE Relevant anatomical structures are marked in the preprocedure computed tomography (CT) angiogram. A 3D-3D image fusion between the preprocedure CT and an intraprocedure cone-beam CT is p...

Prevention of radiographic-contrast-agent-induced reductions in renal function by acetyl-cysteine. N-acetylcysteine and contrast-induced nephropathy: a metaana-lysis of 13 randomized trials. A et al. Standard vs double dose of N-acetylcysteine to prevent contrast agent associated nephrotoxicity. Ascorbic acid prevents contrast-mediated nephropathy in patient with renal dysfunction undergoing co...
