Iodinated Contrast Medium in Clinical Neurology Practice: All Questions Answered
Keywords:
iodinated contrast medium, neurology, adverse reactions, contrast extravasation, contrast-induced nephropathyAbstract
Iodinated contrast medium (ICM) has been widely used for opacification of vascular structures, cerebrospinal fluid and other pathologies in neuroimaging via intravenous, intra-arterial and intrathecal routes. In this article, the authors explore several aspects of ICM use in clinical neurology practice using a question-and-answer format. This encompasses the molecular basis, categories, mechanisms of action, effects to the body, side effects, complications, preventive measures and managements of these unwanted effects
