Objective- To evaluate and compare the radiographic efficacy and safety of a non-ionic dimeric and isotonic iodinated contrast medium, iodixanol (320 mgI/ml) and a non-ionic monomer and hypertonic contrast medium, iohexol (300 mgI/ml) in feline cervical myelography. Design- Experimental study Animals- Five adult healthy cats. Procedures- Iodixanol and iohexol were injected into the cerebello...

Introduction: Using contrast medium in diagnosis and identifying of an organ from its surrounding tissue is very useful. These contrast mediums alter radiation absorption of studied organs. The aim of this study is to identify the influences of contrast media in treatment planning system of the pelvis.   Materials and Methods: Seven patients with pelvis area ...

The administration of iodinated contrast media is an essential component of many diagnostic and therapeutic procedures that involve radiologic imaging. An important potential side effect of iodinated contrast administration is contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN), defined as an increase in serum creatinine of more than 25 percent or 0.5 mg/dL within 3 days of intravascular administration of contr...

background dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (dce - mri) has been widely used in the management of breast cancer, and its diagnostic value in breast imaging has been demonstrated. there have only been a few reports regarding the usefulness of pre-contrast imaging. knowledge about clinically significant findings of preoperative, pre-contrast t1 and t2 mr images will allow more...

Abstract Background Radiologic diagnosis of CSF leaks is challenging. We evaluated the diagnostic value non-contrast CT and contrast-enhanced cisternography in identifying presence rhinorrhea site leak as well comparing them to surgical data and/or clinical follow-up. Results Fifty patients (20 males 30 females) were included our study with age ranging from 19 67 years. 76% cases had spontaneou...
