MORE ABOUT THIS BOOK

Main description:

This second, revised edition of Contrast Media: Safety Issues and Guidelines, presented in a handy, easy to use format, provides an invaluable, unique and unparalleled source of information on the safety issues relating to contrast media. It not only updates the successful first edition, but also contains a number of completely new chapters, for example on gadolinium-based contrast agents, meta-analyses in contrast media research and various regulatory issues. Comprehensive consideration is given to the many different safety issues relating to iodinated, MR, ultrasound and barium contrast media. The text includes chapters on both acute and delayed non-renal adverse reactions and on renal adverse reactions. All those questions frequently raised in radiological practice are addressed, and the well-known European Society of Urogenital Radiology guidelines on contrast media are included.
