Hemodynamic effects of contrast media and its adverse effects in Western Rajasthan: an observational study

Abstract

Many advanced diagnostic techniques are used prior to the 90s, such as radiographic imaging intravascular iodinated contrast agents as the mainstay. In the subsequential years, a marked decrease of abdominal and cardiac contrast procedures is noticed in many referral institutions due to the advent of diagnostic ultrasound. Since the start of the twenty-first century, the use of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have increased. The increased accessibility, enhanced applications, and minimal invasiveness of these techniques have made them currently a popular diagnostic modality in medical science. Intravascular and extra-vascular contrast medium are used in many of CT scan studies. Over the last few years, particularly with the advent of helical multislice CT machines, there has been a marked increase in diagnostic use of Computed tomography angiography ABSTRACT
