Water-soluble iodinated contrast media is typically used for hysterosalpinography. This type of contrast media allows for clear visualization of the uterine cavity and fallopian tubes during the procedure.
You can label contrast media by writing the patient's name and identification number on the label provided with the contrast media or by affixing a pre-printed sticker with the necessary information onto the contrast media container.
Barium is a radiopaque contrast medium used for imaging the digestive system, while iodinated contrast media are used for imaging blood vessels and organs. Barium is not iodinated and is not excreted by the kidneys, making it suitable for GI imaging. Iodinated contrast media are excreted by the kidneys and are used for imaging various parts of the body, including the brain, kidneys, and blood vessels.
Direct IV push contrast media is indicated for use in contrast-enhanced imaging studies such as CT scans, angiograms, and some MRI scans. It provides improved visualization of blood vessels, organs, and tissues to help with diagnostic accuracy. It is important to follow proper dosing guidelines and monitor patients for potential adverse reactions.
A dilute contrast media injected into the right shoulder would help visualize structures such as blood vessels or joints during imaging procedures like an MRI or CT scan. It is a safe way to enhance the visibility of structures for a more accurate diagnosis.
LOM can be used as x-ray contrast media in patients allergic to iodine.

Water soluble contrast media
Oil-based iodinated contrast media are used primarily in radiography for procedures where prolonged visualization of the gastrointestinal tract is needed, such as barium enema. These contrast agents are denser and are not water-soluble, allowing better coating and adherence to the mucosal surface for improved visualization. They are typically used in cases where water-based contrast media are inadequate.
You can label contrast media by writing the patient's name and identification number on the label provided with the contrast media or by affixing a pre-printed sticker with the necessary information onto the contrast media container.
Contrast media contain substances that attenuate X-rays and help highlight specific structures in the body. When injected or ingested, contrast media enhance the visibility of blood vessels, organs, or tissues on imaging studies such as CT scans or MRI scans. This improved contrast allows healthcare providers to obtain a clearer image for diagnostic purposes.

Patients with kidney disease or injury may suffer further kidney damage from the contrast media used for angiography. Patients who have blood-clotting problems, have a known allergy to contrast media, or are allergic to iodine may also not be suitable
