Contrast Media Flashcards
3 molecular/functional imaging
scintigraphy, PET, SPECT
limitations of molecular/functional imaging
inability to accurately measure gross/structural changes
longest waves
radiowaves
shortest waves
gamma rays
who first documented x-ray imaging using an opaque contrast
Eduard Haschek and Otto Theodor Lindenthal
oral bismuth subnitrate was used for?
for visualization of GIT
Barium sulfate is used for?
as an oral radiopaque contrast
2% Collargol (colloidal silver) used in?
cystography
for retrograde pyelography but eventually causing toxicity/deaths
5% Collargol
Use of silver iodide for
retrograde pyelography
First attempt to use sodium iodide for?
renography
Use of 25% sodium and potassium iodide
for ___ →later modified to ___
renography, 13.5%
it replaced colloidal silver as the contrast medium of choice for retrograde pyelography but failed as a contrast medium in excretory urography
10% sodium iodide solution
Pyelognost
(co-intravenous administration of sodium iodide and urea) for pyelography
was the use of selectan (54.1% I) as a contrast medium for excretory urography successful?
no
was the use of uroselectan as a contrast medium for excretory urography successful?
yes
Iopax
uroselectan
Neo-Iopax
Uroselectan B
Diodrast
Diodone
became the standard IV contrast media
for urography for the next 20 years
Neo-Iopax (Uroselectan B) and Diodrast (Diodone)
Neo-Iopax (Uroselectan B) and Diodrast (Diodone) was later replaced by 3 1st gen agents. What are these?
Urokon (Acetrizoate)
Hypaque (Diatrizoate)
Conray (Iothalamate)
what is the osmolality of Urokon (Acetrizoate), Hypaque (Diatrizoate), Conray (Iothalamate)
high osmolality contrast media (HOCM)
what is Lipiodol?
iodinated poppy seed oil, developed in 1901 by Guerbet and Lafay
it is used foer bronchography and myelography→was later replaced by bronchoscopy and CT scan
lipiodol
Successful image of a dog’s heart through ___ but ___ resulted in death
IV injection of lipiodol to the femoral vein, intraarterial injection to the femoral artery
Berberich and Hirsch
First angiography on a living human using 20% strontium bromide
First angiography on a living human using ___
20% strontium bromide
First arteriography done in living humans using ___
25% sodium iodide to the internal carotid artery
he discovered that osmolality of contrast media is directly proportional to its toxicity
Torsten Almén
developed the first non-ionic iodine contrast media
Torsten Almén
the first non-ionic iodine contrast media
Amipaque (metrizamide, 48% I)
Amipaque was found to be not useful in ___ due to its poor solubility
urography
it was used as prototype of highly soluble 2nd gen agents
Amipaque (metrizamide)
highly soluble 2nd gen agents (related to amipaque)
Omnipaque (iohexol)
Isovue (iopamidol)
Optiray (ioversol)
Amipaque was repurposed as the first non- ionic iodine contrast intended for ___
coronary angiography
Hippuran
iodohippurate sodium, 38.8% I
who developed Hippuran?
Moses Swick
developed as an alternative radiopaque contrast media to Neo-Iopax and Diodrast
Hippuran (iodohippurate sodium)
