Exhibitor Symposium: Facing Contrast Challenges in the New Normal

The selection of imaging contrast agents can significantly affect medical practice's diagnostic accuracy and patient outcomes. To make informed decisions about changing contrast agents, it is necessary to identify the driving force behind the change and evaluate the available options' efficacy, safety, cost-effectiveness, and availability. A multidisciplinary team that includes medical practitioners, radiologists, nurses, procurement officers, administrators, and chief technologists should participate in decision-making to ensure a cohesive and sustainable change. Obstacles such as staff resistance, budget constraints, or logistical issues may arise during the change, but these can be minimized by providing adequate training and support to staff, optimizing procurement processes, and communicating the benefits of the change. This lecture will equip you with the skills to examine the latest published data, make well-informed decisions, and implement changes that positively impact your practice's diagnostic accuracy, safety, and patient outcomes.
