Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis versus contrast-induced nephropathy: risks and benefits of contrast-enhanced MR and CT in renally impaired patients.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) have become essential to diagnostic evaluation of many, or most, important medically and surgically treated diseases. It is important to consider comprehensively the implications in making decisions when choosing one or the other cross-sectional imaging modality. Factors to consider include the relative risks of the contrast agent. O...

Imaging-related medications: a class overview.

Imaging-related medications (contrast agents) are commonly utilized to improve visualization of radiographic, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance (MR) images. While traditional medications are used specifically for their pharmacological actions, the ideal imaging agent provides enhanced contrast with little biological interaction. The radiopaque agents, barium sulfate and iodinated...

Unnecessary computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging rates in a tertiary care hospital

Objectives. The actual rate of unnecessary imaging is unknown in our country. In this study we aimed to detect unnecessary computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) rates and the radiological quality of these examinations in our hospital. Methods. CT/MRI request documents of 1,713 patients who had multidetector CT or MRI examination in a 2-month period at a single tertiary c...

Gadolinium-associated nephrogenic systemic fibrosis.

Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis is a progressive, potentially fatal multiorgan system fibrosing disease related to exposure of patients with renal failure to the gadolinium-based contrast agents used in magnetic resonance imaging. Because of this relationship between nephrogenic systemic fibrosis and gadolinium-based contrast agents, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration currently warns against u...
