Allergy tests, which yielded very severe sensitization with Lugol's solution, failed to show any reaction with povidone-iodine [8]. In a three-year study on 5900 patients, only two allergy cases were observed. The manifested dermatitis healed in 7 days, and no systemic toxicity or iodism was...
Issues of contrast allergy and contrast-inducednephropathyrelate more to theiodinated compoundsadministered in CT than to other contrast agents used in diagnostic imaging. It is important to consider these issues when ordering a CT examination and to discuss the indications and risks with the radiologis...
Iodine, as a heavy element, is quite radio-opaque. Organic compounds of a certain type (typically iodine-substituted benzene derivatives) are thus used in medicine as X-ray radiocontrast agents for intravenous injection. This is often in conjunction with advanced X-ray techniques such as angiograp...
The dominant producers of iodine today are Chile and Japan. Due to its high atomic number and ease of attachment to organic compounds, it has also found favour as a non-toxic radiocontrast material. Because of the specificity of its uptake by the human body, radioactive isotopes of iodine ...

It is used as a contrast media and for the treatment of uncomplicated meconium ileus. The aim of this study was to examine whether Gastrografin influences iodine and thyroxine concentrations. Methods: The effects of the use of Gastrografin on serum and urine iodine concentrations and thyroid ...
'Gadolinium' as an alternative to iodinated contrast media for X-ray angiography in patients with severe allergy. The procedure was well tolerated by each patient and the amount of the gadolinium-based contrast media did not exceed 40 ml, which is twice the volume... Keika,Ose,Tomoki,... ...
There was a lighter image noted on the films taken from the use of gadolinium rather than the traditional iodinated contrast. CONCLUSION(S): Gadolinium is a safe and useful alternative to iodinated contrast for hysterosalpingography in patients with iodine allergy....
