Abstract:Contrast media are medicinal solutions enhancing diagnostic radiology's imaging quality by distinguishing anatomical structures. These widely used exams involve pharmaceutical agents, yet adverse reactions can arise. This study targets primary risks and adverse reactions tied to major contrast media in radiology. It assesses current concepts and protocols to minimize these reactions. Techniques for contrast-enhanced images demand element-based substances: iodinated, barium-based, and gadolinium-based contrasts… Show more
