Dinner Program: The Current State of Iodinated Contrast Media
Supported by GE Healthcare
Recent global supply shortages of iodinated contrast media (ICM) have increased the focus on how this resource is used. This talk will provide a brief background on ICM and the different kinds of contrast in use today, as well as the clinical impact of those various types of contrast. Circling back to the supply issues in 2022, we will discuss how supply has impacted optimization of ICM and have open discussion to share experiences via discussion.
