Enhanced radiation dose and DNA damage associated with iodinated contrast media in diagnostic X-ray imaging

A review was undertaken of studies reporting increased DNA damage in circulating blood cells and increased organ doses, for X-ray exposures enhanced by iodinated contrast media (ICM), compared to unenhanced imaging. This effect may be due to ICM molecules acting as a source of secondary radiation (A...
