Reducing the risk of iodine-based and MRI contrast media administration: Recommendation for a questionnaire at the time of booking

This paper presents a practical questionnaire to be used when a contrast medium examination is requested. The questionnaire is based on the guidelines from the European Society of Urogenital Radiology. Its aim is to identify patients at increased risk of clinically relevant renal and non-renal adverse reactions to iodine-based and MRI contrast agents. The questionnaire should be completed by the referring physician when the examination is requested. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
