Contrast dye used in CT scans maybe problematic for lung injury patients. (Pulmonary Medicine)Jeff Bauer
Health officials say COVID-19 could be the cause of contrast dye shortage ATLANTA-Since the pandemic began, medical supply shortages have become more common - everything from syringes to collection tubes. Now, hospitals are scrambling to keep track of and secure contrast dye used in CT scans. ...
A.In 1969 I almost died from the IVP dye. I had no idea I was allergic and when I awoke I was in a "recovery room." The doctor told me to always tell any physicians/paramedics etc of my allergy status regarding the dye. I now have chronic back pain, have a history of cancer in...
and assessing internal damage and other abnormalities. While there is a possibility of reactions to the contrast agent, these are rare, and undergoing the test is generally preferable to leaving a disease or condition untreated. When dealing with a patient who has had reactions in the past, or...
As a worldwide shortage of contrast dye for medical imaging continues, a new UC San Francisco research letter in JAMA quantified strategies medical facilities can employ to safely reduce dye use in computed tomography (CT) by up to 83%. CT is the most co
A CT scan is not the same as an MRI scan. This is because an MRI scan uses magnetic fields to generate images of internal organs as compared to X-ray beams used in CT scans. Also, MRI scans are used only in a few situations, like diagnosing brain tumors and primary bone tumors. CT...
used to assess differences in perfusion parameters among the nodes.Results Homogeneous enhancement patterns were more frequently associated with non-metastasis of nodes,while heterogeneous enhancement patterns or avascular patterns were mostly suggestive of metastasis of nodes,with statistical difference between...

1-weighted image compared with the clinically used Magnevist (Fig. 1j). The average T1 relaxivity (r1) of LanND-Gd is 13.15 mM−1 s−1, which significantly exceeds that of Magnevist with a relaxivity of 4.62 mM−1
Different settings will highlight different types of tissue. MRI offers the ability to change the imaging plane without moving the patient. Contrast agents are used in both MRI and CT, however MRI contrastdoes notcontain iodine. Is Kidney damage from contrast dye reversible?
