Abstract
A little more than 60 years ago, a young American, Moses Swick, working in the department of the urologist von Lichtenberg in Berlin, used a mono-iodinated pyridine compound to perform an intravenous urogram [1]. Since then, there have been several generations of iodinated intravascular contrast agents, the latest being the low osmolality ionic and non-ionic types [2,3]. In spite of the development of new imaging techniques, the scale of use and, relevantly, the doses used in many examinations have tended to increase.
