Subsequently the committee questioned ESUR members, reviewed the literature, proposed guidelines, and discussed these proposals with participants at the annual symposia of the society. The end result of this work was the successful first edition of this book, published in 2006, which was followed by an equally successful second edition in 2009. This third edition not only fully updates the previous edition, but also includes new chapters on complex topics such as use of contrast media in children and practical aspects of off-label contrast media use. The authorship includes members, past members, and non-members of the Contrast Media Safety Committee. Comprehensive consideration is given to the many different safety issues relating to iodine-based contrast media, gadolinium-based contrast media, microbubbles for ultrasound, and barium sulfate. The text includes chapters on both acute and delayed non-renal adverse reactions and on renal adverse reactions. All of the questions frequently raised in radiological practice are addressed. This book, presented in a handy, easy-to-use format, provides an invaluable, unique, and unparalleled source of information Notes Previous edition: 2009 Includes index Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes English Print version record Subject Radiographic contrast media -- Safety measures Radiographic contrast media -- Toxicology Genitourinary organs -- Imaging -- Safety measures -- Standards -- Europe Contrast Media -- adverse effects Safety Management -- standards Extravasation of Diagnostic and Therapeutic Materials HEALTH & FITNESS -- Diseases -- General.
