ESUR produces new guidelines on contrast media

The European Society of Urogenital Radiology (ESUR) has updated its guidelines on contrast media.

Version 8.0 contains updated recommendations on contrast-induced nephropathy, dialysis, late adverse reactions, gadolinium-based contrast media, and nephrogenic systemic fibrosis, according to Dr. Henrik Thomsen, chairman of the ESUR's contrast media safety committee. The section on liver-specific agents has been omitted because iron and manganese are no longer available in some countries.
