Iodinated contrast media increase density to produce a
better image of structures that would otherwise be radiolucent. If contrast
media are not excreted properly, they can cause kidney toxicity. The level of
toxicity is related to the patient's kidney function; better kidney function
allows for more contrast excretion. Diagnostic laboratory tests help determine
kidney function, and test results inform radiologic technologists about kidney
complications before injecting patients to decrease adverse effects in
patients.
This quiz is the companion to the short report, "Evaluating Kidney Function in Patients Receiving Contrast Media", which appears in the Nov/Dec Radiologic Technology journal.
