    Summary

    Iohexol contrast media are safe for most patients undergoing CT scans, with a low incidence of side effects. However, those with allergies face a slightly higher risk of reactions.

    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Medical Imaging
    • Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) is vital for diagnosis.
    • Iohexol is a commonly used iodinated contrast medium.
    • Understanding contrast medium safety and efficacy is crucial.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the safety and diagnostic utility of iohexol in contrast-enhanced CT.
    • To identify risk factors for adverse reactions to iohexol.

    Main Methods:

    • Prospective, multicentre study.
    • Involved 4,970 patients undergoing contrast-enhanced CT with iohexol.
    • Systematic monitoring for contrast medium-induced side effects.

    Main Results:

    • 98.4% of patients experienced no diagnosed side effects from iohexol.
    • Patients with allergic diathesis had a 2-3 times higher risk of systemic reactions.
    • Diagnostic accuracy improved in 56% of cases with contrast injection; 21% were non-diagnostic without contrast.

    Conclusions:

    • Iohexol demonstrates a high safety profile in a large patient cohort.
    • Allergic history is a significant predictor of contrast medium reactions.
    • Intravenous iohexol significantly enhances diagnostic accuracy in CT imaging.
