Full Description
This work aims to provide a different approach to contrast media, which are discussed primarily from the point of view of the radiologist. Comprehensive sections are devoted to iodinated contrast media and to the contrast media employed in magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasonography. Available agents and adverse reactions are also covered in detail. A final section considers the use of contrast media in nuclear medicine.
Contents
Iodinated contrast media - new agents; magnetic resonance contrast media; chemistry and physics; selected applications of magnetic resonance imaging contrast agents; ultrasound contrast media - history, physics, applications, bioeffects; radiopharmaceuticals (nuclear medicine).
