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...
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....
(SPECT) and X-ray computed tomography (X-Ray CT) scans.[36] Iodine-125 has a half-life of fifty-nine days, decaying by electron capture to tellurium-125 and emitting low-energy gamma radiation; the second-longest-lived iodine radioisotope, it has uses in biological assays, nuclear medicine...

'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,... ...

This prospective, single-institution study was approved by the Institutional Review Board, and written informed consent was provided by each patient. From December 2015 to June 2019, 317 consecutive patients received tri-phase abdominal CTA. Patients with iodine contrast media allergy, known renal dysf...
