Requests for Imaging Using Contrast Media: What Information Must be Provided

  • Chapter
Contrast Media

Part of the book series: Medical Radiology ((Med Radiol Diagn Imaging))

  • 3031 Accesses

Abstract

A questionnaire is proposed for any imaging examination requiring contrast agent administration. Information about important risk factors is essential and drug history is also important because of possible interactions between contrast agents and other drugs. This information should be available before the appointment, so that prophylactic measures can be planned or an alternative imaging technique not requiring contrast agent administration can be advised.
