Product Description:
This second, revised edition of Contrast Media: Safety Issues and Guidelines, presented in a handy, easy to use format, provides an invaluable, unique and unparalleled source of information on the safety issues relating to contrast media.
It not only updates the successful first edition, but also contains a number of completely new chapters, for example on gadolinium-based contrast agents, meta-analyses in contrast media research and various regulatory issues. Comprehensive consideration is given to the many different safety issues relating to iodinated, MR, ultrasound and barium contrast media. The text includes chapters on both acute and delayed non-renal adverse reactions and on renal adverse reactions. All those questions frequently raised in radiological practice are addressed, and the well-known European Society of Urogenital Radiology guidelines on contrast media are included.
Review
From the reviews of the first edition:
From European Journal of Ultrasound, August 2006: ‘The book can be recommended emphatically to each radiologist or related physician who is using contrast media in daily practice. In three words: ‘A MUST HAVE’.
“This book contains 21 chapters from multiple authors, forming a comprehensive review of the available literature on the safety of radiological contrast media. … This book is a well-balanced, objective, scientific evaluation of all the issues relating to the safe use of contrast media. … It is reasonably priced and I feel it is set to become an affordable and invaluable reference for any imaging department. Radiology registrars and radiologists will find it useful … it will also be of interest to radiographers … .” (Dr. D F Peach, RAD Magazine, December, 2006)
