Administration of Contrast Media

Multislice Computed Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging for the Assessment of Reperfused Acute Myocardial Infarction

“…For DE-MSCT imaging, we used the radiation dose that is used for MSCT coronary angiography (15/21 mSv for men/women). We administered 1 gI/kg iodine contrast to the pigs, equivalent to approximately 200 ml iodine contrast to a patient of 70 kg, which is considered a normal dose of contrast during a conventional angiography procedure (25). Technical developments are desirable that reduce radiation exposure and limit the amount of iodinated contrast material needed.…”

Antibacterial Effects of X-ray and MRI Contrast Media: An In Vitro Pilot Study

“…Another critical aspect is that only about three relevant papers on this topic have been published in the last 20 years. On the one hand, this is because the contrast media most commonly used to date (e.g., Telebrix 1972), including the MRI contrast media (e.g., Dotarem 1989) were developed over several decades towards the end of the last century and the corresponding studies on patient safety had to be published between invention and approval [ 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 ]. On the other hand, the importance of image-guided interventions increased with an evident time lag [ 27 ].…”
