Tackling the increasing contamination of the water supply by iodinated contrast media [PDF]
Insights into Imaging, 2022 Contrast media are essential for diagnostic and interventional procedures. Iodinated contrast media are the most commonly used agents, with CT requiring the largest overall quantities.

Hypersensitivity Reactions to Iodinated Contrast Media [PDF]
Biomedicines, 2022 At present, iodinated contrast media (ICM) are mostly non-ionic, have low osmolality, and are safe. Even if adverse drug reactions (ADRs) occur, most are chemo-toxic symptoms and require only observation or H1 antihistamines. However, rare, unpredictable,

Pharmacological prevention of delayed hypersensitivity reactions caused by iodinated contrast media [PDF]
World Allergy Organization Journal, 2021 Background: Delayed hypersensitivity reactions (DHRs) to radiocontrast media (RCM) occur in approximately 0.5–23.0% of patients and are thought to be caused by T cell-mediated mechanisms. However, an optimal pharmacological preventive strategy is not yet

Acute shortage of iodinated contrast media: implications and guidance for neurovascular imaging and intervention. [PDF]
Neuroradiology, 2022 In April 2022, the long-running lockdown in Shanghai, China, due to the COVID-19 pandemic led to significant restrictions on the production of iodinated contrast media (ICM) of a major supplier [1]. As other suppliers’ stocks were also becoming depleted,

Iodinated contrast media shortage: Insights and guidance from two major public hospitals. [PDF]
J Med Imaging Radiat Oncol, 2022 Global shortage of iodinated contrast medium (ICM) is the latest health care ripple‐effect from the COVID‐19 pandemic. Some public hospitals in Australia have less than a week's supply. Strategies are, therefore, urgently needed to conserve ICM for those
