Iodixanol more cost-effective than iohexol in renal angiography

By N. Shivapriya

An iso-osmolar contrast agent, iodixanol, is pricier than a low-osmolar agent, iohexol, but it may actually be more cost-effective for angiographic exams in diabetics with renal impairment, according to new research by the authors of the Nephrotoxic Effects in High-Risk Patients Undergoing Angiography (NEPHRIC) study.

Zero to 64: CT urography zooms ahead with more detector rows

By Eric Barnes

But real-world examples have been sparse, and clinical studies comparing four scanner generations side by side are rare birds indeed. But two groups, from Boston and the Mayo Clinic, have focused their research on comparing generations of multidetector-row CT systems using a CT urography protocol.
