Contrast Media: Safety Issues and ESUR Guidelines (Medical Radiology: Diagnostic Imaging) [Hardcover]

H.S. Thomsen (Editor)

Book Description

ISBN-10: 3540204482 | ISBN-13: 978-3540204480 | Publication Date: December 14, 2005 | Edition: 1

In 1994 the European Society of Urogenital Radiology (ESUR) set up a committee to consider the safety of the contrast media used in radiology departments. Since then, the committee has questioned members, reviewed the literature, proposed guidelines, and discussed these proposals with participants at the annual symposia on urogenital radiology. This book represents the end result of this hard work. It contains all of the agreed guidelines, updated when necessary, and thereby comprehensively covers the many different safety issues relating to the diverse contrast media: barium contrast media, iodinated contrast media, MR contrast media (both gadolinium-based extracellular and organ-specific) and ultrasound contrast media. The prevention and treatment of both acute and delayed non-renal adverse reactions as well as the renal adverse reactions are covered in detail. The inclusion of all the ESUR guidelines within one book will offer an invaluable, unique and unparalleled resource.

Editorial Reviews

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)
