Topical Issues of Rational Use of Iodine-Containing Contrast Agents in X-Ray Diagnostics

Abstract

The possibilities of rational use of iodine radiopaque agents in computed tomography and percutaneous coronary interventions are considered, taking into account the route, method of their administration and the viscosity of their solutions. When fixing the rate of iodine administration and the temperature of the injected solution, the required injection pressure of the contrast media is determined by the solution viscosity.
