In this volume experts answer questions which are frequently
asked about theproperties and handling of X-ray contrast
media, providing a good source of reference in the use of
these agents and which should help to reduce the rate of
adverrse effects. In addition, basic information is provided
on the development, toxicology, pharmacology,
pharmacokinetics and clinical testing of X-ray contrast
media. Finally, a look at the prospects for contrast media
in magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasound underlines the
increasing importance of these diagnostic imaging
procedures. This book will be of interest to physicians and
their staff alike.
