Abstract
Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) is an important complication following the use of iodinated contrast media. Bilirubin has a protective effect but may also aggravate CI-AKI. The purpose of this systematic review was to assess whether bilirubin is a risk factor for CI-AKI. We searched the databases PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Scopus, Ovid Medline, CNKI (China National Knowledge Infrastructure), VPCS (Vip Paper Check System), Wanfang, and CBM (Chinese BioMedical Literature Database) from the initial date to May 6, 2023. We summarized the results by directly combining the effect-size odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) and identified sources of heterogeneity through subgroup analysis, sensitivity analysis, and meta-regression analysis. A total of 10 studies (14 data sets) were included: 7 retrospective studies (10 data sets) and 3 prospective studies (4 data sets), involving 12776 participants. The incidence of CI-AKI of 16% (95% CI: 14-19%). Total bilirubin was positively associated with the occurrence of CI-AKI (OR = 1.80; 95% CI: 1.36-2.38). Both low and high bilirubin concentrations were risk factors for CI-AKI. The incidence of CI-AKI was higher in the low bilirubin group than in the high bilirubin group.

Differential Incidence of Contrast-Associated Acute Kidney Injury: Comparing Intravenous and Intraarterial Contrast Administration. Curr Cardiol Rep 2024:10.1007/s11886-024-02083-w.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF THE REVIEW Contrast-associated acute kidney injury (CA-AKI) remains a significant concern in diagnostic and invasive procedures, particularly in the context of iodinated contrast material administration. The traditional definition of CA-AKI, based on serum creatinine elevation following contrast exposure, may not accurately capture its multifactorial nature. RECENT FINDINGS Studies have provided new insights into the differential incidence of CA-AKI between intravenous and intraarterial contrast administration, emphasizing the importance of tailored preventative strategies for high-risk procedures. This higher risk may arise from two proposed mechanisms: one implicating free radical formation leading to cytotoxicity and apoptosis in renal cells and another suggesting that contrast media alter renal hemodynamics, particularly in the outer medulla, by constricting the vasa recta and reducing medullary flow. Advances in technology and patient care, including contemporary use of low-osmolar contrast agents and hydration protocols, mitigate CA-AKI risk. Diagnostic and invasive procedures should not be avoided solely due to concerns about renal dysfunction if the patient is likely to benefit clinically.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the diagnostic performance of contrast-enhanced (CE) ultrasound using Sonazoid (SNZ-CEUS) by comparing with contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CE-CT) and contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (CE-MRI) for differentiating benign and malignant renal masses. MATERIALS AND METHODS 306 consecutive patients (from 7 centers) with renal masses (40 benign tumors, 266 malignant tumors) diagnosed by both SNZ-CEUS, CE-CT or CE-MRI were enrolled between September 2020 and February 2021. The examinations were performed within 7 days, but the sequence was not fixed. Histologic results were available for 301 of 306 (98.37%) lesions and 5 lesions were considered benign after at least 2 year follow-up without change in size and image characteristics. The diagnostic performances were evaluated by sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and compared by McNemar's test. RESULTS In the head-to-head comparison, SNZ-CEUS and CE-MRI had comparable sensitivity (95.60 vs. 94.51%, P = 0.997), specificity (65.22 vs. 73.91%, P = 0.752), positive predictive value (91.58 vs. 93.48%) and negative predictive value (78.95 vs. 77.27%); SNZ-CEUS and CE-CT showed similar sensitivity (97.31 vs. 96.24%, P = 0.724); however, SNZ-CEUS had relatively lower than specificity than CE-CT (59.09 vs. 68.18%, P = 0.683). For nodules > 4 cm, CE-MRI demonstrated higher specificity than SNZ-CEUS (90.91 vs. 72.73%, P = 0.617) without compromise the sensitivity. CONCLUSIONS SNZ-CEUS, CE-CT, and CE-MRI demonstrate desirable and comparable sensitivity for the differentiation of renal mass. However, the specificity of all three imaging modalities is not satisfactory. SNZ-CEUS may be a suitable alternative modality for patients with renal dysfunction and those allergic to gadolinium or iodine-based agents.

Appraisal of guidelines on intravenous iodinated contrast media use in patients with kidney disease. Insights Imaging 2024; 15:77. [PMID: 38499879 PMCID: PMC10948651 DOI: 10.1186/s13244-024-01644-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2023] [Accepted: 02/10/2024] [Indexed: 03/20/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To appraise the quality of guidelines on intravenous iodinated contrast media (ICM) use in patients with kidney disease, and to compare the recommendations among them. METHODS We searched four literature databases, eight guideline libraries, and ten homepages of radiological societies to identify English and Chinese guidelines on intravenous ICM use in patients with kidney disease published between January 2018 and June 2023. The quality of the guidelines was assessed with the Scientific, Transparent, and Applicable Rankings (STAR) tool. RESULTS Ten guidelines were included, with a median STAR score of 46.0 (range 28.5-61.5). The guidelines performed well in "Recommendations" domain (31/40, 78%), while poor in "Registry" (0/20, 0%) and "Protocol" domains (0/20, 0%). Nine guidelines recommended estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 30 mL/min/1.73 m2 as the cutoff for referring patients to discuss the risk-benefit balance of ICM administration. Three guidelines further suggested that patients with an eGFR < 45 mL/min/1.73 m2 and high-risk factors also need referring. Variable recommendations were seen in the acceptable time interval between renal function test and ICM administration, and that between scan and repeated scan. Nine guidelines recommended to use iso-osmolar or low-osmolar ICM, while no consensus has been reached for the dosing of ICM. Nine guidelines supported hydration after ICM use, but their protocols varied. Drugs or blood purification therapy were not recommended as preventative means. CONCLUSION Guidelines on intravenous ICM use in patients with kidney disease have heterogeneous quality. The scientific societies may consider joint statements on controversial recommendations for variable timing and protocols. CRITICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT The heterogeneous quality of guidelines, and their controversial recommendations, leave gaps in workflow timing, dosing, and post-administration hydration protocols of contrast-enhanced CT scans for patients with kidney diseases, calling for more evidence to establish a safer and more practicable workflow. KEY POINTS • Guidelines concerning iodinated contrast media use in kidney disease patients vary. • Controversy remains in workflow timing, contrast dosing, and post-administration hydration protocols. • Investigations are encouraged to establish a safer iodinated contrast media use workflow.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ventilation-perfusion (V/Q) scan coupled with single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is commonly used for the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism (PE). An abnormal chest x-ray (CXR) is deemed to hinder the interpretation of V/Q scan and therefore a normal CXR is recommended prior to V/Q scan. AIMS To determine if an abnormal CXR impacted on V/Q scan interpretation and subsequent management. METHODS A retrospective cohort analysis of all patients who underwent a V/Q scan for diagnosis of suspected acute PE between March 2016 and 2022 was performed. CXR reports were reviewed and classified as normal or abnormal. Low-dose computerised tomography was routinely performed in patients above the age of 70. Data regarding V/Q scan results and subsequent management including initiation of anticoagulation for PE or further diagnostic investigations were collected. RESULTS A total of 340 cases were evaluated. Of the positive V/Q scans (92/340), 98.3% of the normal CXR were anticoagulated compared to 100% of the abnormal CXR group. Of the negative V/Q scans (239/340), no cases were started on anticoagulation and no further investigations were performed across both normal and abnormal CXR groups. Indeterminate results occurred in only 9 cases with no significant difference in management between normal and abnormal CXR groups. CONCLUSION An abnormal CXR does not affect the reliability of V/Q scan interpretation in the diagnosis of PE when coupled with SPECT. Unless clinically indicated, the mandate by clinical society guidelines for a normal CXR prior to V/Q should be revisited.

Abstract
Little is known about whether preventative practices for post-contrast acute kidney injury (PC-AKI) recommended in guidelines have been adopted in clinical practice and translated into a lower incidence of PC-AKI. The aim of this study was to examine the yearly trends in the incidence of PC-AKI, and comorbidities and care practices associated with PC-AKI in hospitalized patients who received intravenous administration of iodinated contrast medium (ICM). Adult patients receiving intravenous ICM at the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University in China between 2015 and 2021 were included. Temporal trends in the incidence and risk factors for PC-AKI were evaluated using logistic regression analyses with adjustments for relevant variables. The incidence of PC-AKI has declined significantly from 5.3% in 2015 to 4.1% in 2021 (p < 0.001). This decreasing trend persisted after extensive multivariable adjustments. Of the comorbidities associated with PC-AKI, the proportion of patients with congestive heart failure or hypertension increased, while the proportion of patients older than 75 years, or with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 30 mL/min/1.73 m2, diabetic nephropathy, or renal stone disease decreased. Among the care practices associated with PC-AKI, the proportion of patients using nephrotoxic drugs decreased, whereas the proportion of patients receiving intravenous fluids > 1000 mL on the day of ICM administration or using iso-osmolar ICM increased. In conclusion, a declining trend in PC-AKI incidence was observed in patients receiving intravenous ICM between 2015 and 2021, which may be related to increased awareness and efforts to prevent PC-AKI.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Double-low CT aortography (DLCTA) is increasingly used in follow-up studies of aortic aneurysm after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). However, whether DLCTA can reliably detect the presence of endoleak is not clear. METHODS From February 2014 to October 2019, patients who received EVAR, underwent CT surveillance, and had at least one standard CTA protocol (120 kVp, 400 mg I/kg) and one DLCTA (70-80 kVp, 200 mg I/kg) were included. The integrated findings of the standard CTA and sequential change were considered as the reference standard for the presence of endoleak. RESULTS In all, 36 patients received TEVAR and 24 patients received EVAR; 62 standard CTA and 167 DLCTA results were analyzed. There were 2 type I (3.3%) and 12 type II (20.0%) endoleaks in 14 patients (23.3%). The performance of DLCTA in the diagnosis of endoleak reached 100% accuracy compared to that of standard CTA in case of the correction of CT findings by an expert second reading. Compared to the standard CTA, DLCTA scan reduced the radiation dose by 71% and the iodine dose by 50%. CONCLUSIONS DLCTA with 70-80 kVp and 200 mg I/kg can reliably detect the presence of endoleak after TEVAR/EVAR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is an adverse reaction associated with the use of intravenous contrast media (CM). PURPOSE To investigate the impact of low tube voltage settings on single-energy computed tomography (SECT) and rapid kV switching dual-energy CT (DECT) with reduced concentrations of iodinated CM. MATERIAL AND METHODS A phantom containing four different concentrations of CM (original concentration CM, 20%, 40%, and 60% reductions) was scanned using SECT mode with varying tube voltages (70, 80, 100, and 120 kVp) and DECT mode through reconstructing monoenergetic energy (50 keV and 70 keV) images. ATCM system with different noise index (NI) settings were set, and the images were reconstructed using ASiR-V. Image quality were measured for individual phantom sizes and protocols and compared to a reference protocol for SECT of 120 kVp, NI = 18, threshold contrast enhancement ≥280 HU, and CNR ≥17. RESULTS Tube voltage settings of 70 kVp together with 40% reduction in the iodinated CM is suitable for small phantom size, those of 80 kVp and 20% reduction is suitable for the medium and large sizes. This allows radiation doses to be reduced by 12%-30%. Values of CNR and contrast for DECT are better than those for SECT with the same NI setting. CONCLUSION Diagnostic reference of image quality can be maintained by using SECT with lower tube voltage and DECT with reductions of iodinated CM concentration and radiation dose. Therefore, the NI setting can be increased when DECT is used to achieve a similar image quality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Stratification of chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients [estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <60 mL/min/1.73 m2] at risk for post-contrast acute kidney injury (PC-AKI) following intravenous administration of iodinated contrast media (ICM) is important for clinical decision-making and clinical trial enrollment. METHODS The derivation and internal validation cohorts originated from the Second Xiangya Hospital. The external validation cohort was generated from the Xiangya Hospital and the openly accessible database Medical Information Mart for Intensive CareIV. PC-AKI was defined based on the serum creatinine criteria of the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO). Six feature selection methods were used to identify the most influential predictors from 79 candidate variables. Deep neural networks (DNNs) were used to establish the model and compared with logistic regression analyses. Model discrimination was evaluated by area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). Low-risk and high-risk cutoff points were set to stratify patients. RESULTS Among 4218 encounters studied, PC-AKI occurred in 10.3, 10.4 and 11.4% of encounters in the derivation, internal and external validation cohorts, respectively. The 14 variables-based DNN model had significantly better performance than the logistic regression model with AUC being 0.939 (95% confidence interval: 0.916-0.958) and 0.940 (95% confidence interval: 0.909-0.954) in the internal and external validation cohorts, respectively, and showed promising discrimination in subgroup analyses (AUC ≥ 0.800). The observed PC-AKI risks increased significantly from the low- to intermediate- to high-risk group (<1.0 to >50%) and the accuracy of patients not developing PC-AKI was 99% in the low-risk category in both the internal and external validation cohorts. CONCLUSIONS A DNN model using routinely available variables can accurately discriminate the risk of PC-AKI of hospitalized CKD patients following intravenous administration of ICM.

Application of CT contrast medium is not associated with an increased risk for acute kidney injury in patients with decompensated cirrhosis. Aliment Pharmacol Ther 2023; 57:136-145. [PMID: 36352768 DOI: 10.1111/apt.17289] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/12/2022] [Revised: 09/09/2022] [Accepted: 10/23/2022] [Indexed: 11/11/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent complication in patients with decompensated cirrhosis. Studies reported conflicting results regarding the nephrotoxic potential of iodinated contrast medium (CM) for computer tomography (CT). AIM To investigate the impact of diagnostic CM application on kidney function in patients with decompensated cirrhosis. METHODS First, we evaluated the impact of diagnostic CM-CT on AKI incidence in a cross-sectional approach. Second, we analysed 28-day AKI incidence post-CM-CT in patients with impaired kidney function (i.e., creatinine >133 μmoL/L). Third, we excluded all patients with relevant interventions besides CM-CT. All remaining patients were matched via propensity score matching (PPSM) and further analysed. Last, we validated the results in an independent dataset of prospectively collected registry data of 118 patients with decompensated cirrhosis. Here, plasma samples were analysed regarding neutrophil-gelatinase-associated-lipocalin (NGAL). RESULTS Of the 611 included patients, 98 (16%) received CM-CT. CM-CT was not associated with AKI in the cross-sectional approach (CM-CT:8% vs. no CM-CT:15%; p = 0.08). Furthermore, CM-CT was not associated with higher 28-day AKI incidence among patients with impaired kidney function (HR:0.79; 95% CI 0.45-1.38; p = 0.40). The PPSM cohort revealed no association between CM-CT and AKI or severe AKI (HR:1.28, p = 0.45 and HR:1.62; p = 0.43). Moreover, CM-CT did not result in worsening of kidney function after CM application. In the validation cohort, CM-CT was also not linked to AKI (p = 0.85) and NGAL levels were not increased in those with CM-CT (CM-CT:309 ng/ml vs. No CM-CT:266 ng/ml, p = 0.35). CONCLUSION Decompensated cirrhosis per se should not preclude diagnostic CM-CT.

Abstract
Transcatheter cardiovascular interventions have the advantage of patient safety, reduced surgery time and minimal trauma to the patient's body. Transcathether interventions, which are performed percutaneously, are limited by the lack of direct line of sight with the procedural tools and the patient anatomy. Therefore, such interventional procedures rely heavily on image guidance for navigating toward and delivering therapy at the target site. Vascular navigation via the inferior vena cava, from the groin to the heart, is an imperative part of most transcatheter cardiovascular interventions including heart valve repair surgeries and ablation therapy. Traditionally, the inferior vena cava is navigated using fluoroscopic techniques such as venography and computed tomography venography. These X-ray-based techniques can have detrimental effects on the patient as well as the surgical team, causing increased radiation exposure, leading to risk of cancer, fetal defects and eye cataracts. The use of a heavy lead apron has also been reported to cause back pain and spine issues, thus leading to interventionalist's disc disease. We propose the use of a catheter-based ultrasound augmented with electromagnetic tracking technology to generate a vascular roadmap in real time and perform navigation without harmful radiation. In this pilot study, we used spatially tracked intracardiac echocardiography to reconstruct a vessel from a phantom in a 3-D virtual environment. We illustrate how the proposed ultrasound-based navigation will appear in a virtual environment, by navigating a tracked guidewire within the vessels in the phantom without any radiation-based imaging. The geometric accuracy is assessed using a computed tomography scan of the phantom, with a Dice coefficient of 0.79. The average distance between the surfaces of the two models comes out to be 1.7 ± 1.12 mm.

Imaging of the Left Atrial Appendage Before Occluder Device Placement: Evaluation of Virtual Monoenergetic Images in a Single-Bolus Dual-Phase Protocol. J Comput Assist Tomogr 2022; 46:735-741.

Abstract
PURPOSE Preimplantation cardiac computed tomography (CT) for assessment of the left atrial appendage (LAA) enables correct sizing of the device and the detection of contraindications, such as thrombi. In the arterial phase, distinction between false filling defects and true thrombi can be hampered by insufficient contrast medium distribution. A delayed scan can be used to further differentiate both conditions, but contrast in these acquisitions is relatively lower. In this study, we investigated whether virtual monoenergetic images (VMI) from dual-energy spectral detector CT (SDCT) can be used to enhance contrast and visualization in the delayed phase. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty-nine patients receiving SDCT imaging of the LAA were retrospectively enrolled. The imaging protocol comprised dual-phase acquisitions with single-bolus contrast injection. Conventional images (CI) from both phases and 40-keV VMI from the delayed phase were reconstructed. Attenuation, signal-, and contrast-to-noise ratios (SNR/CNR) were calculated by placing regions-of-interest in the LAA, left atrium, and muscular portion of interventricular septum. Two radiologists subjectively evaluated conspicuity and homogeneity of contrast distribution within the LAA. RESULTS Contrast of the LAA decreased significantly in the delayed phase but was significantly improved by VMI, showing comparable attenuation, SNR, and CNR to CI from the arterial phase (attenuation/SNR/CNR, CI arterial phase: 266.0 ± 117.0 HU/14.2 ± 7.2/6.6 ± 3.9; CI-delayed phase: 107.6 ± 35.0 HU/5.9 ± 3.0/1.0 ± 1.0; VMI delayed phase: 260.3 ± 108.6 HU/18.2 ± 10.6/4.8 ± 3.4). The subjective reading confirmed the objective findings showing improved conspicuity and homogeneity in the delayed phase. CONCLUSIONS The investigated single-bolus dual-phase acquisition protocol provided improved visualization of the LAA. Homogeneity of contrast media was higher in the delayed phase, while VMI maintained high contrast.

Abstract
Chemotherapeutic agents used to treat cancer generally have narrow therapeutic indices along with potentially serious adverse toxicities. Many cancer drugs are at least partially excreted through the kidney and, thus, the availability of accurate data on safe and effective dosing of these drugs in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is essential to guide treatment decisions. Typically, during drug development, initial clinical studies only include patients with normal or only mildly impaired kidney function. In subsequent preregistration studies, a limited number of patients with more severe kidney dysfunction are included. Data obtained from patients with either severe kidney dysfunction (here defined as an estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] < 30 ml/min or stage 4G CKD) or end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) requiring kidney replacement treatment are particularly limited before drug registration and only a minority of new drug applications to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) include data from this population. Unfortunately, limited data and/or other safety concerns may result in a manufacturer statement that the drug is contraindicated in patients with advanced kidney disease, which hinders access to potentially beneficial drugs for these patients. This systemic exclusion of patients with CKD from cancer drug trials remains an unsolved problem, which prevents provision of optimal clinical care for these patients, raises questions of inclusion, diversity, and equity. In addition, with the aging of the population, there are increasing numbers of patients with CKD and cancer who face these issues. In this review, we evaluate the scientific basis to exclude patients with CKD from cancer trials and propose a comprehensive strategy to address this problem.

Utility of Patient-Reported Risk Factors for Identifying Advanced Chronic Kidney Disease Prior to Outpatient CT: Comparison With Recent ACR/NKF Consensus Criteria. AJR Am J Roentgenol 2022; 219:462-470.

Abstract
Background: Practices vary for screening patients for risk of renal dysfunction before iodinated contrast media administration. A recent American College of Radiology/National Kidney Foundation (ACR/NKF) consensus statement provided streamlined screening criteria. Objective: To assess the yield of patient-reported risk factors for identifying eGFR <30 ml/min/1.73m2 before outpatient CT. Methods: This retrospective study was performed at a health system that implemented an electronic screening form used by patients before outpatient CT encounters to report presence of dialysis, cancer-treating medications, kidney disease, prior kidney surgery, diabetes mellitus treated with medication, hypertensiontreated with medication, and multiple myeloma. Patients with any risk factor were required to undergo eGFR testing before CT. Of 44,708 patients completing the form from June 1, 2020 through February 28, 2021, 10,256 patients (5315 men, 4941 women; mean age, 66.8±11.9 years) underwent eGFR testing on date of CT. Multivariable regression analysis for predicting reduced eGFR was performed. Findings were compared with theoretical approach using ACR/NKF criteria. Results: Same-day testing yielded eGFR <30 mL/min/1.73m2 in 1.4% (144/10,256) of patients. Only significant independent predictors of low eGFR were dialysis [odds ratio (OR)= 203.30], kidney disease (OR=12.55), and diabetes mellitus treated with medication (OR=2.44). If following ACR/NKF criteria [only kidney disease (defined as dialysis, kidney disease, or prior kidney surgery) as trigger for eGFR testing], patients requiring testing would have decreased by 89.6% from 10,256 to 1059, yield woul have increased to 7.1% (76/1059), and 47.2% (68/144) of patiens with low eGFR would have been missed. If following ACR/NKF criteria but considering diabetes mellitus as a required rather than optional criterion, patients requiring testing would have decreased by 77.1% to 2353, yield would have increased to 4.0% (95/2353), and 34.0% (49/144) with low eGFR would have been missed. Conclusion: Using patient-reported risk factors resulted in frequent eGFR testing but low yield of low eGFR. Commonly applied risk factors were not independently associated with low eGFR. Clinical Impact: Application of ACR/NKF criteria would substantially reduce eGFR testing, though miss patients with renal dysfunction. The statement should consider omitting kidney surgery as trigger for eGFR testing and treating diabetes mellitus as a required trigger.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Functional renal imaging, most commonly with MAG3 nuclear medicine renal scan, is recommended in the evaluation of children with urinary tract dilation (UTD) suspected of obstructive uropathy. Alternatively, renal function can be evaluated with functional Magnetic Resonance Urography (fMRU), which has superior anatomic detail. However, there are not enough data comparing both methods' equivalency. In this study, we compare the functional and obstruction parameters of fMRU and MAG3 in a pediatric cohort presenting with obstructive uropathy. STUDY DESIGN This is an IRB-approved retrospective review of all children undergoing fMRU at a single, free-standing children's hospital between May 2008 and September 2017. Patients who also underwent a MAG3 renal scan within 6 months and who had no interval surgical intervention were included in the study. Bladder catheterization was performed prior to both imaging studies. RESULTS 735 children had 988 fMRU studies performed during the study period. 37 unique patients (13 girls and 24 boys) with median age of 6 months (range: 2 mo-19 y) were included in the final sample. Median time interval between studies was 70 days (range 6-179 days). The majority of participants (26/37, 70.3%) presented with UTD P3 and had diagnosis of uretero-pelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) in 21/37. Differential renal function (DRF) was used to group 10 fMRU and 9 MAG3 patients as normal; 9 fMRU and 11 MAG3 as mild; 11 fMRU and 6 MAG3 as moderate; and 7 fMRU and 6 MAG3 as severe; Wilcoxon signed-rank test (p = 0.5106). Results were similar for DRF among patients with and without duplex kidneys. In the analysis of obstruction, using reference standard T½ MAG3 ≥ 20 min, a greater or equal than 6 min renal transit time (RTT) from fMRU showed a specificity of 94%, a sensitivity of 62%, and an AUC of 0.827. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS The differential renal function determined by MAG3 and fMRU in children was not statistically different, therefore we concluded that it was similar and potentially equivalent. Better correlation was shown in patients who had normal split kidney function. While the tests are clinically equivalent, the variability of DRF within each clinical category (i.e., normal, mild, moderate, severe) is not surprising, because MAG3 does not clearly differentiate the dilated collecting system from the functional parenchymal tissue, while fMRU does. Using MAG3 as the gold standard, fMRU was 94.74% specific and 5% more sensitive in detecting UPJO with a RTT of 6min vs. 8min.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although diabetes mellitus (DM) has been a common risk factor of contrast-associated acute kidney injury (CA-AKI) for a long time, several current studies showed that DM is not an independent risk factor. Due to this diverse finding, we aim to conduct a systematic review assessing the effect of DM on CA-AKI. METHODS We searched Ovid Medline, Embase, and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews (to June 1, 2020) for studies assessing the association between DM and CA-AKI. Random meta-analysis was performed to derive the pooled estimates of the adjusted odds ratio (OR) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs). RESULTS A total of 84 studies involving 1,136,827 participants were included in this meta-analysis. The presence of DM was associated with an higher risk of CA-AKI (pooled OR: 1.58, 95% CI: 1.48-1.70, I2 = 64%). Furthermore, the predictive effect of elevated CA-AKI for was stronger in the subgroup of DM patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) (OR: 2.33, 95% CI: 1.21-4.51), while the relationship between DM and CA-AKI was not significant in subgroup patients without CKD (OR: 1.12, 95% CI: 0.73-1.72). CONCLUSION This is the first meta-analysis to prove that DM is an independent risk factor of CA-AKI in patients. While the predictive value of DM for CA-AKI in patients with normal kidney function was weakened, more protective treatments are needed in diabetic patients with kidney dysfunction to avoid the occurrence of CA-AKI.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aims of this study were to assess the fidelity of electronic health record documentation prompting premedication to iodinated contrast media and to determine the appropriateness of administered premedication on the basis of that documentation. METHODS In this retrospective quality assurance cohort study, medication adverse events recorded in electronic health records between January 1, 2018, and August 31, 2019, to "iodine," "iodine-containing products," and "iodinated contrast media" were identified (N = 4,309); entries missing documentation (n = 1,651) and breakthrough reactions (n = 22) were excluded. Reaction description, severity, and free-text comments were used to categorize each entry as concordant (documentation matches recorded severity per the ACR Manual on Contrast Media version 10.3), discordant (description-severity mismatch, agent unrelated to iodinated contrast media, not a hypersensitivity reaction), or unclear. A subset of patients undergoing premedication was identified, and premedication was categorized as appropriate, inappropriate, or unsure on the basis of the index reaction using the aforementioned framework. Descriptive statistics were calculated. RESULTS There were 2,636 adverse event entries in 2,441 patients: 59.9% (1,578 of 2,636) were classified as concordant, 30.2% (797 of 2,636) as discordant (n = 377 not a hypersensitivity reaction, n = 317 description-severity mismatch, and n = 103 unrelated agent), and 9.9% (n = 261) as unclear documentation. For the premedicated subset, concordance classification was feasible for 202 unique patients premedicated 335 times. Premedication was appropriate in 72% (240 of 335) and inappropriate in 22% (73 of 335); 17% of premedication events (56 of 335) were inappropriately administered for a prior physiologic reaction. CONCLUSIONS Premedication prompts in the electronic health record are often erroneous because of inaccurate coding, incomplete data, and reaction misclassification. These errors result in inappropriate premedication for a substantial minority of patients.

Fluoroless and contrast-free catheter ablation without a lead apron in routine clinical practice. Sci Rep 2020; 10:17096. [PMID: 33051503 PMCID: PMC7553968 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-74165-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/06/2020] [Accepted: 09/22/2020] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
The technique of catheter ablation has been improved within the past few decades, especially by three-dimensional (3D) mapping system. 3D mapping system has reduced radiation exposure but ablation procedures still require fluoroscopy. Our previous study showed the safety and efficacy of catheter ablation based on intracardiac echogram combined with CARTOSOUND/CARTO3 system, however fluoroscopy use for an average of 16 min is required for this procedure. The present study was aimed to reduce radiation exposure to zero and establish a radiation free catheter ablation method with the goal of utilizing it in routine clinical practice. We conducted single center, retrospective study during 2019 April to 2020 February. Consecutive 76 patients were enrolled. In the first 18 cases, the previously reported procedure (CARTOSOUND/CARTO3 method) was used. The remaining 58 cases were transitioned to fluoroless catheter ablation. The procedure time, success rates and complication rates were analyzed. Not only AF patients but atrial flutter (AFL), paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) and ventricular arrhythmia patients were included. Catheter positioning, catheter visualization and collecting the geometry of each camber of the heart were conducted by using contact force and ICE based geometry on CARTO system without either prior computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance image (MRI). In fluoroless group, all catheter ablations were successfully performed without lead aprons. No complications occurred in either group. There were no significant differences in procedure time in any type of procedure (Total procedure time Fluoro-group; 149 ± 51 min vs. Fluoroless-group; 162 ± 43 min, N.S.), (PSVT 170 ± 53 min vs. 162 ± 29 min, N.S.), (AFL 110 ± 70 min vs. 123 ± 43 min, N.S.), (AF 162 ± 43 min vs. 163 ± 32 min, N.S.). The total radiation time was reduced to zero in fluoroless group. Catheter ablation with ICE and 3D mapping system guide without fluoroscopy could be safely performed with a high success rate, without any prior CT/MRI 3D images. Radiation was reduced completely for patients and staff, negating the need for protective wear for operators.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate if low-keV virtual monoenergetic images (VMI40keV) from abdominal spectral detector CT (SDCT) with reduced intravenous contrast media application (RCM) provide abdominal assessment similar to conventional images with standard contrast media (SCM) dose. METHODS 78 patients with abdominal SDCT were retrospectively included: 41 patients at risk for adverse reactions who received 44 RCM examinations with 50 ml and 37 patients who underwent 44 SCM examinations with 100 ml of contrast media (CM) and who were matched for effective body diameters. RCM, SCM images and RCM-VMI40keV were reconstructed. Attenuation and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of liver, pancreas, kidneys, lymph nodes, psoas muscle, aorta and portal vein were assessed ROIs-based. Contrast-to-noise ratios (CNR) of lymph nodes vs aorta/portal vein were calculated. Two readers evaluated organ/vessel contrast, lymph node delineation, image noise and overall assessability using 4-point Likert scales. RESULTS RCM were inferior to SCM images in all quantitative/qualitative criteria. RCM-VMI40keV and SCM images showed similar lymph node and muscle attenuation (p = 0.83,0.17), while for all other ROIs, RCM-VMI40keV showed higher attenuation (p ≤ 0.05). SNR was comparable between RCM-VMI40keV and SCM images (p range: 0.23-0.99). CNR of lymph nodes was highest in RCM-VMI40keV (p ≤ 0.05). RCM-VMI40keV received equivalent or higher scores than SCM in all criteria except for organ contrast, overall assessability and image noise, where SCM were superior (p ≤ 0.05). However, RCM-VMI40keV received proper or excellent scores in 88.6/94.2/95.4% of the referring cases. CONCLUSIONS VMI40keV counteract contrast deterioration in CM reduced abdominal SDCT, facilitating diagnostic assessment. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE SDCT-derived VMI40keV provide adequate depiction of vessels, organs and lymph nodes even at notable CM reduction.

Abstract
AIMS To study the correlation between intra-procedural left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) and the development of contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS AND RESULTS A single center retrospective observational study compared clinical and hemodynamic characteristics of patients who developed post-PCI CI-AKI with those did not. CI-AKI was defined as an absolute increase in serum creatinine ≥0.5 mg/dl or an increase ≥25% from baseline 48-72 h after the administration of contrast medium. Among 1301 consecutive patients who underwent PCI, 125 patients (9.6%) developed CI-AKI. The CI-AKI group had a higher average LVEDP (18.4 ± 8.7 vs 14.4 ± 6.6 mm Hg; p < .0001) and higher prevalence of elevated LVEDP (≥20 mm Hg) than those without CI-AKI (47.2% vs 23.3%, p < .0001). After adjustments, elevated LVEDP remained independently associated with CI-AKI (OR 2.21; 95% CI 1.40-3.50). LVEDP predicted the development of CI-AKI with a receiver operating characteristic area under curve (AUC) of 0.64. The association between elevated LVEDP and the risk of CI-AKI was stronger in patients with reduced ejection fraction (EF ≤ 40%) (OR = 4.08; 95% CI: 1.68-9.91) than those with preserved EF (OR = 1.69; 95% CI: 0.94-3.04) (p value for interaction = .0003). Patients who had LVEDP ≥ 20 mm Hg and LVEF ≤ 40% had a post-PCI incidence rate of developing CI-AKI of 36.5%. CONCLUSIONS Elevated intra-procedural LVEDP (≥20 mm Hg) is independently associated with increased risk of CI-AKI for patients undergoing cardiac catheterization and PCI, especially in the setting of reduced LVEF (≤40%).

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) is associated with high risks of morbidity and mortality. Hyperbilirubinemia might have some renal protection but with no clear cutoff value for protection. Related studies are typically on limited numbers of patients and only in conditions of vascular intervention. METHODS We performed this study to elucidate CI-AKI in patients after contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CCT). The outcomes were CI-AKI, dialysis and mortality. Patients were divided to three groups based on their serum levels of total bilirubin: ≤1.2 mg/dl, 1.3-2.0 mg/dl, and >2.0 mg/dl. RESULTS We enrolled a total of 9,496 patients who had received CCT. Patients with serum total bilirubin >2.0 mg/dl were associated with CI-AKI. Those undergoing dialysis had the highest incidence of PC-AKI (p<0.001). No difference was found between the two groups of total bilirubin ≤1.2 and 1.3-2.0 mg/dl. Patients with total bilirubin >2mg/dl were associated with CI-AKI (OR = 1.89, 1.53-2.33 of 95% CI), dialysis (OR = 1.40, 1.01-1.95 of 95% CI) and mortality (OR = 1.63, 1.38-1.93 of 95% CI) after adjusting for laboratory data and all comorbidities (i.e., cerebrovascular disease, coronary artery disease, peripheral arterial disease, and acute myocardial infarction, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, gastrointestinal bleeding, cirrhosis, peritonitis, ascites, hepatoma, shock lung and colon cancer). We concluded that total bilirubin level >2 mg/dl is an independent risk factor for CI-AKI, dialysis and mortality after CCT. These patients also had high risks for cirrhosis or hepatoma. CONCLUSION This is the first study providing evidence that hyperbilirubinemia (total bilirubin >2.0 mg/dl) being an independent risk factor for CI-AKI, dialysis and mortality after receiving CCT. Most patients with total bilirubin >2.0mg/dl had cirrhosis or hepatoma.

Abstract
Intravenous iodinated contrast media are commonly used with CT to evaluate disease and to determine treatment response. The risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) developing in patients with reduced kidney function following exposure to intravenous iodinated contrast media has been overstated. This is due primarily to historic lack of control groups sufficient to separate contrast-induced AKI (CI-AKI; ie, AKI caused by contrast media administration) from contrast-associated AKI (CA-AKI; ie, AKI coincident to contrast media administration). Although the true risk of CI-AKI remains uncertain for patients with severe kidney disease, prophylaxis with intravenous normal saline is indicated for patients who have AKI or an estimated glomerular filtration rate less than 30 mL/min/1.73 m2 who are not undergoing maintenance dialysis. In individual high-risk circumstances, prophylaxis may be considered in patients with an estimated glomerular filtration rate of 30-44 mL/min/1.73 m2 at the discretion of the ordering clinician.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Risk of nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) to individual patients with stage 4 or 5 chronic kidney disease (CKD; defined as estimated glomerular filtration rate of <30 mL/min/1.73 m2) who receive a group II gadolinium-based contrast agent (GBCA) is not well understood or summarized in the literature. OBJECTIVE To assess the pooled risk of NSF in patients with stage 4 or 5 CKD receiving a group II GBCA. DATA SOURCES A health sciences informationist searched the Ovid (MEDLINE and MEDLINE Epub Ahead of Print, In-Process & Other Non-Indexed Citation, and Daily and Versions), Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Web of Science, and Open Grey databases from inception to January 29, 2019, yielding 2700 citations. STUDY SELECTION Citations were screened for inclusion in a multistep process. Agreement for final cohort inclusion was determined by 2 blinded screeners using Cohen κ. Inclusion criteria consisted of stage 4 or 5 CKD with or without dialysis, administration of an unconfounded American College of Radiology classification group II GBCA (gadobenate dimeglumine, gadobutrol, gadoterate meglumine, or gadoteridol), and incident NSF as an outcome. Conference abstracts, retracted manuscripts, narrative reviews, editorials, case reports, and manuscripts not reporting total group II GBCA administrations were excluded. DATA EXTRACTION AND SYNTHESIS Data extraction was performed for all studies by a single investigator, including publication details, study design and time frame, patient characteristics, group II GBCA(s) administered, total exposures for patients with stage 4 or stage 5 CKD, total cases of unconfounded NSF, reason for GBCA administration, follow-up duration, loss to follow-up, basis for NSF screening, and diagnosis. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Pooled incidence of NSF and the associated upper bound of a 2-sided 95% CI (risk estimate) for the pooled data and each of the 4 group II GBCAs. RESULTS Sixteen unique studies with 4931 patients were included (κ = 0.68) in this systematic review and meta-analysis. The pooled incidence of NSF was 0 of 4931 (0%; upper bound of 95% CI, 0.07%). The upper bound varied owing to different sample sizes for gadobenate dimeglumine (0 of 3167; upper bound of 95% CI, 0.12%), gadoterate meglumine (0 of 1204; upper bound of 95% CI, 0.31%), gadobutrol (0 of 330; upper bound of 95% CI, 1.11%), and gadoteridol (0 of 230; upper bound of 95% CI, 1.59%). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE This study's findings suggest that the risk of NSF from group II GBCA administration in stage 4 or 5 CKD is likely less than 0.07%. The potential diagnostic harms of withholding group II GBCA for indicated examinations may outweigh the risk of NSF in this population. TRIAL REGISTRATION PROSPERO identifier: CRD42019123284.

Use of Intravenous Iodinated Contrast Media in Patients With Kidney Disease: Consensus Statements from the American College of Radiology and the National Kidney Foundation. Kidney Med 2020; 2:85-93. [PMID: 33015613 PMCID: PMC7525144 DOI: 10.1016/j.xkme.2020.01.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 58] [Impact Index Per Article: 14.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2019] [Revised: 10/08/2019] [Accepted: 11/07/2019] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Intravenous iodinated contrast media are commonly used with CT to evaluate disease and to determine treatment response. The risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) developing in patients with reduced kidney function following exposure to intravenous iodinated contrast media has been overstated. This is due primarily to historic lack of control groups sufficient to separate contrast-induced AKI (CI-AKI; ie, AKI caused by contrast media administration) from contrast-associated AKI (CA-AKI; ie, AKI coincident to contrast media administration). Although the true risk of CI-AKI remains uncertain for patients with severe kidney disease, prophylaxis with intravenous normal saline is indicated for patients who have AKI or an estimated glomerular filtration rate less than 30 mL/min/1.73 m2 who are not undergoing maintenance dialysis. In individual high-risk circumstances, prophylaxis may be considered in patients with an estimated glomerular filtration rate of 30-44 mL/min/1.73 m2 at the discretion of the ordering clinician.

Abstract
PURPOSE Diagnostic computed tomography (CT) imaging, utilizing intravenous (IV) contrast administration, has become increasingly common. Potential IV contrast-associated complications include local skin and soft tissue reactions due to extravasation. The goal of this study is to describe the risk of contrast extravasation based on IV catheter anatomic location in patients receiving contrast-enhanced CT imaging. METHODS The study was conducted as a retrospective cohort study of patients receiving contrast-enhanced CT imaging performed over a 26-month period at a single institution. The rate of contrast extravasation was calculated by IV catheter vessel anatomic location and compared by relative risk (RR) and absolute risk reduction (ARR). RESULTS Of 17,767 contrast administrations for CT imaging studies performed, 14,558 met study inclusion criteria. Forty-nine (0.34%) extravasation events were identified. Forty-one (0.28%, 95% CI 0.21-0.39%) extravasation events were observed in 14,275 peripheral IV catheters placed in a non-upper arm location. Eight (2.8%, 95% CI 1.3-5.3%) extravasation events were observed in 283 IV catheters placed, most commonly with point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) guidance, in upper arm vessels (RR 10.1, 95% CI 4.69-21.8). Non-upper arm located IV catheters were associated with an ARR of 2.54% (95% CI 0.61-4.47%) when compared to upper arm catheters. CONCLUSIONS IV catheter placement in upper arm vessels is associated with a relatively minimal increase in extravasation risk when compared to catheters placed in a non-upper arm location. In patients without alternative available peripheral vascular access, POCUS-guided upper arm IV cannulation may be an appropriate approach.

Effect of intravenous contrast for CT abdomen and pelvis on detection of urgent and non-urgent pathology: can repeat CT within 72 hours be avoided? Emerg Radiol 2019; 26:601-608. [PMID: 31332644 DOI: 10.1007/s10140-019-01704-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/19/2019] [Accepted: 06/14/2019] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE To determine if administering IV contrast for CT abdomen and pelvis improves detection of urgent and clinically important non-urgent pathology in patients with urgent clinical symptoms compared to patients not receiving IV contrast, and in turn to determine whether repeat CT exams on the same patient within 72 h were of low diagnostic benefit if the first CT was performed with IV contrast. METHODS We evaluated 400 consecutive patients who had CT abdomen and pelvis (CT AP) examinations repeated within 72 h. For each patient, demographic data, reason for examination, examination time stamps, and examination technique were documented. CT AP radiology reports were reviewed and both urgent and non-urgent pathology was extracted. RESULTS Of 400 patients, 63% had their initial CT AP without contrast. Administration of IV contrast for the first CT AP was associated with increased detection of urgent findings compared with non-contrast CT (p = 0.004) and a contrast-enhanced CT AP following an initial non-contrast CT AP examination better characterized both urgent (p = 0.002) and non-urgent findings (p < 0.001). Adherence to ACR appropriateness criteria for IV contrast administration was associated with increased detection of urgent pathology on the first CT (p = 0.02), and the second CT was more likely to be performed with IV contrast if recommended by the radiologist reading the first CT (p = 0.0006). CONCLUSION In the absence of contraindications, encouraging urgent care physicians to preferentially order IV contrast-enhanced CT AP examinations in adherence with ACR appropriateness criteria may increase detection of urgent pathology and avoid short-term repeat CT AP.

Low-keV virtual monoenergetic imaging reconstructions of excretory phase spectral dual-energy CT in patients with urothelial carcinoma: A feasibility study. Eur J Radiol 2019; 116:135-143.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare objective and subjective image quality between low keV virtual monoenergetic images (VMI) of the excretory phase and conventional venous phase images derived from spectral dual-energy CT (DECT) in the assessment of urothelial carcinoma. METHODS 26 consecutive patients with histologically confirmed urothelial carcinoma who received clinically indicated venous- and excretory phase abdominal CT scans were included retrospectively. Attenuation, image noise as well as signal- and contrast-to-noise-ratio (SNR, CNR) in venous and excretory phase CT and excretory phase VMI from 40 to 70 keV were obtained from ROI-based measurements in the following regions: urothelial carcinoma, liver, pancreas, renal cortex, subcutaneous fat, renal vein/artery, portal vein, urinary bladder wall, lymph nodes, prostate/uterus. Subjective vessel contrast and delineation of primary tumor manifestations and distant metastases were rated on 5-point Likert scales. RESULTS In comparison to venous phase CT, attenuation and SNR in excretory phase VMI40keV were higher (p < 0.001), except for liver parenchyma, where they were comparable (p = 0.07 and p = 0.17, respectively). Regarding image noise, no significant difference was found between venous phase CT and excretory phase VMI40keV (p-range: 0.08-1.00), except for liver, portal vein and renal artery, where it was lower in VMI40keV (p < 0.05). CNR of urothelial carcinoma to circumjacent bladder wall was significantly higher in excretory phase VMI40keV compared to venous phase CT. Subjective vessel contrast and delineation of primary tumor and distant metastases received equivalent or higher Likert scores in excretory phase VMI40keV than in venous phase CT. CONCLUSION This feasibility study indicates that in the assessment of urothelial carcinoma, virtual monoenergetic excretory phase images at 40 keV acquired with spectral DECT could be feasible to maintain subjective and objective image quality as provided by conventional venous phase images. Still, equivalence with regards to metastatic lesion detection requires further investigation before employing this technique in a potential signal-scan, single-bolus approach.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The potential adverse reactions to contrast media-enhanced imaging regularly offer challenges in decision-making for nephrologists and radiologists. OBJECTIVE The clinical pictures of contrast media-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) and nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) were evaluated, which are both caused by contrast media and closely linked to the kidney function. MATERIAL AND METHODS The literature in PubMed and Medline was searched for the terms "kidney function" and "contrast media" and complemented by our own experiences. RESULTS While there is an ongoing re-evaluation of the clinical relevance of CI-AKI, no new cases of NSF have recently been reported under consideration of certain preventive interventions and very restricted use of gadolinium-based contrast agents. CONCLUSION Considering the results of the latest clinical research, the potential risk of CI-AKI has been overestimated for a long time and should no longer outweigh the diagnostic benefit of contrast media-enhanced imaging. Nevertheless, the most effective prophylaxis for CI-AKI is the avoidance of unnecessary administration of contrast media.

Abstract
Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a critical issue in cancer patients because it is not only a morbid complication but also able to interrupt timely diagnostic evaluation or planned optimal treatment. However, the impact of AKI on overall mortality in cancer patients remains unclear. Methods We conducted a retrospective cohort study of 67 986 cancer patients, from 2004 to 2013 to evaluate the relationship between AKI and all‐cause mortality. We used KDIGO AKI definition and grading system. Results During 3.9 ± 3.1 years of follow‐up, 33.8% of the patients experienced AKI at least once. Among AKI events, stage 1, 2, and 3 was 71.0%, 13.8%, and 15.1%, respectively. AKI incidence was highest in hematologic malignancies, followed by urinary tract cancer, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Male sex, older age, underlying diabetes and hypertension, lower serum albumin and plasma hemoglobin, more frequent radio‐contrast exposure, entrance of clinical trials, and receiving chemotherapy were associated with AKI occurrence. AKI development was an independent risk factor for elevated mortality in cancer patients with dose‐responsive manner (Stage 1, hazard ratio [HR] 1.183, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.145‐1.221, P < 0.001; Stage 2, HR 1.710, 95% CI 1.629‐1.796; Stage 3, HR 2.000, 95% CI 1.910‐2.095; No AKI, reference group) even after adjustment. This tendency was reproduced in various cancer types except thyroid cancer and in various treatment modalities, however, not shown in patients with baseline renal dysfunction. Conclusion AKI was an independent risk factor for all‐cause mortality in overall cancer patients with dose‐responsive manner.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate the quality of enhancement and solid-organ lesion depiction using weight-based intravenous (IV) contrast dosing calculated by injector software versus fixed IV contrast dose in oncologic abdominal computed tomographic (CT) examinations. METHODS This institutional review board-exempt retrospective cohort study included 134 patients who underwent single-phase abdominal CT before and after implementation of weight-based IV contrast injector software. Patient weight, height, body mass index, and body surface area were determined. Two radiologists qualitatively assessed examinations (4 indicating markedly superior to -4 indicating markedly inferior), and Hounsfield unit measurements were performed. RESULTS Enhancement (estimated mean, -0.05; 95% confidence interval [CI], -0.19 to 0.09; P = 0.46) and lesion depiction (estimated mean, -0.01; 95% CI, -0.10 to 0.07; P = 0.79) scores did not differ between CT examinations using weight-based IV contrast versus fixed IV contrast dosing when a minimum of 38.5 g of iodine was used. However, the scores using weight-based IV contrast dosing were lower when the injector software calculated and delivered less than 38.5 g of iodine (estimated mean, -0.81; 95% CI, -1.06 to -0.56; P < 0.0001). There were no significant differences in measured Hounsfield units between the CT examinations using weight-based IV contrast dosing versus fixed IV contrast dosing. CONCLUSIONS Oncologic CT image quality was maintained or improved with weight-based IV contrast dosing using injector software when using a minimum amount of 38.5 g of iodine.

Abstract
New developments in cross-sectional imaging, including contrast-enhanced ultrasound, dual-energy computed tomography, multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging, single-photon emission computed tomography, and positron emission tomography, together with novel application of existing and novel radiotracers, have changed the landscape of renal mass characterization (ie, virtual biopsy) as well as the detection of metastatic disease, prognostication, and response assessment in patients with advanced kidney cancer. A host of imaging response criteria have been developed to characterize the response to targeted and immune therapies and correlate with patient outcomes, each with strengths and limitations. Recent efforts to advance the field are aimed at increasing objectivity with quantitative techniques and the use of banks of imaging data to match the vast genomic data that are becoming available. The emerging field of radiogenomics has the potential to transform further the role of imaging in kidney cancer management through eventual noninvasive characterization of the tumor histology and genetic microenvironment in single renal masses and/or metastatic disease. We review of the effect of currently available imaging techniques in the management of patients with kidney cancer, including localized, locally advanced, and metastatic disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To reduce the iodine load required for CT Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) planning on a 320-row scanner by acquiring the two CT TAVR steps (ECG-gated aortic root CTA and non-gated aorto-ilio-femoral CTA) within a single contrast media bolus injection. METHODS 50 consecutive patients (82.6±6.9 years; 56% female) were prospectively enrolled and underwent a TAVR planning using a 320-row CT, with ECG-gated aortic root CTA immediately followed by a non-gated aorto-iliac acquisition, all within a single bolus of 40-70mL of Iohexol 350mgI/mL. The Iodine load, image quality, SNR, CNR and radiation dose were compared using a Mann-Whitney test to that of 24 consecutive patients (84.3±4.8 years, 58% female) previously imaged on a 64-row scanner with a conventional two-step protocol. RESULTS Iodine load was reduced by 44%. All examinations were of diagnostic quality, with improvement of the aortic root CTA image quality (4.9±0.3 versus 4.6±0.5, p<0.01) and a non-significant decrease of the aorto-iliac CTA image quality (4.7±0.6 versus 4.9±0.3, p = 0.07). SNR and CNR were significantly improved in the aortic root CTA (14.0±5.3 and 10.4±4.5 versus 10.3±4.2 and 6.8±3.3, p<0.01 for both) and non-significantly higher in the aorto-iliac CTA (16.5±8.0 and 14.1±7.9 versus 14.7±5.5 and 12.5±5.0, p = 0.42 and p = 0.66). Total radiation dose was reduced by 32%. CONCLUSION 320-row CT scanner enables a 44% reduction of iodine load in TAVR planning, while maintaining excellent aorto-ilio-femoral arterial enhancement and lowering radiation dose.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Cross-sectional imaging, namely ultrasound, CT and MR enterography, complements clinical and endoscopic monitoring of activity and complications in IBD, and emerging new radiological technologies may have clinical applications in the near future. This review offers an update on the potential role of these new imaging methods in the management of IBD. RECENT FINDINGS Specific MR techniques [diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) and magnetization transfer] allow accurate detection of inflammation (DWI and maybe DKI) and fibrosis (magnetization transfer) in Crohn's disease, without the need of intravenous gadolinium administration. ultrasonography developments (elastography, contrast-enhanced ultrasonography, small intestine contrast ultrasonography and multispectral optoacoustic tomography) are promising techniques for evaluation of fibrosis (elastography) and inflammation (contrast ultrasonography). Dose-reduction techniques in CT allow similar quality imaging and diagnostic accuracy with lower radiation exposure. Hybrid imaging (PET/MR and PET/CT) hold promise for grading inflammation in Crohn's disease. SUMMARY The potential benefits of new cross-sectional imaging techniques in IBD include better inflammation grading, such as identification of mild degree of activity, which may be relevant whenever assessing response to treatment and, of uttermost importance, accurate preoperative detection and grading of fibrosis in stricturing Crohn's disease, facilitating surgical vs. medical therapeutic decisions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine the accuracy and non-detection rate of cancer related findings (CRFs) on follow-up non-contrast-enhanced CT (NECT) versus contrast-enhanced CT (CECT) images of the abdomen in patients with a known cancer diagnosis. METHODS A retrospective review of 352 consecutive CTs of the abdomen performed with and without IV contrast between March 2010 and October 2014 for follow-up of cancer was included. Two radiologists independently assessed the NECT portions of the studies. The reader was provided the primary cancer diagnosis and access to the most recent prior NECT study. The accuracy and non-detection rates were determined by comparing our results to the archived reports as a gold standard. RESULTS A total of 383 CRFs were found in the archived reports of the 352 abdominal CTs. The average non-detection rate for the NECTs compared to the CECTs was 3.0% (11.5/383) with an accuracy of 97.0% (371.5/383) in identifying CRFs. The most common findings missed were vascular thrombosis with a non-detection rate of 100%. The accuracy for non-vascular CRFs was 99.1%. CONCLUSION Follow-up NECT abdomen studies are highly accurate in the detection of CRFs in patients with an established cancer diagnosis, except in cases where vascular involvement is suspected.

Abstract
Iodinated contrast media (iodinated CM) have increased ability to absorb x-rays and to visualize structures that normally are impossible to observe in a radiological examination. The use of iodinated CM may destory renal function, commonly known as contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN), which can result in acute renal failure (ARF). This review article mainly focuses on the following areas: (1) classifications of iodinated CM: ionic or non-ionic, high-osmolarity contrast media (HOCM), low-osmolarity contrast media (LOCM) and iso-osmolarity contrast media (IOCM); (2) an introduction to the physical and chemical properties of the non-ionic iodinated CM; (3) the management of anaphylactic reaction by iodinated CM; (4) a suggested single injection of adult doses and maximum dose for non-ionic iodinated CM; (5) the molecular mechanism of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN); (6) In vitro studies on iodinated CM. Based on above information, this review article provide an insight for understanding the drug safety of iodinated CM.

Abstract
Background and objective The use of contrast media in Italy has exponentially increased in the past 3 decades. However, it is unknown whether there has been an increase in clinical research evaluating the risks associated with contrast media usage, especially regarding contrast-induced nephropathy. To fill this gap in knowledge, we performed a systematic review. Study eligibility criteria Meta-analyses, observational studies, and clinical trials assessing contrast media-induced nephropathy as the safety outcome, in which at least one author was affiliated with an Italian university/health care structure, were eligble. Data sources Ovid MEDLINE, Ovid Embase, Cochrane Methodology Register, and Web of Science were screened. Participants Men and women exposed to contrast media. Results In total, 60 original articles were retrieved with an incremental trend between 1990 and 2017. Cohort studies were the most common study design represented. In total, 45 of 60 (75.0%) studies were monocenter studies and 41 of 60 (68.3%) received no funding. In all, 91.7% of studies disclosed no conflicts of interest and 81.7% had no external collaboration. Most of the studies provided a level of evidence of III-2 (32/60; 53.3%) and II (23/60; 38.3%). In total, 50 of 60 studies (83.3%) were published in a scientific journal ranked in the first quartile of their subject area. Conclusion There was an increased number of studies evaluating contrast-induced nephropathy in Italy during the last three decades. These studies covered procedures to prevent contrast-induced nephropathy or aimed to identify risk factors, biomarkers, and scores, and their related prognosis.

MAGNETIC RESONANCE MATERIALS IN PHYSICS BIOLOGY AND MEDICINE 2017; 31:367-374.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Acute kidney injury (AKI) is an important risk factor for a number of adverse outcomes including end-stage renal disease and cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Whilst many clinical situations that can induce AKI are known-e.g. drug toxicity, contrast agent exposure or ischemia during surgery-targeted preventive or therapeutic measures are still lacking. As to renoprotective strategies, remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) is one of the most promising novel approaches and has been examined by a number of clinical trials. The aim of this study was to use blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) MRI as a surrogate parameter to assess the effect of RIPC in healthy volunteers. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this IRB-approved, prospective study, 40 healthy volunteers were stratified with 20 undergoing an RIPC procedure (i.e. RIPC group) with a transient ischemia of the right arm, and 20 undergoing a sham procedure. Before and after the procedure, both kidneys of all participants were scanned using a 12-echo mGRE sequence for functional BOLD imaging at 3T. For each volunteer, 180 ROIs were placed in the cortex and the medulla of the kidneys. Ultimately, R2* values, which have an inverse correlation with the oxygenation level of tissue, were averaged for the RIPC and control groups. RESULTS Following intervention, mean R2* values significantly decreased in the RIPC group in both the cortex (18.6 ± 2.3 vs. 17.5 ± 1.7 Hz; p = 0.0047) and medulla (34 ± 5.2 vs. 32.2 ± 4.2 Hz; p = 0.0001). However, no significant differences were observed in the control group. CONCLUSION RIPC can be non-invasively assessed in healthy volunteers using BOLD MRI at 3T, demonstrating a higher oxygen content in kidney tissue. This study presents a first-in-man trial establishing a quantifiable readout of RIPC and its effects on kidney physiology. BOLD measurements may advance clinical trials in further evaluating RIPC for future clinical care.

Abstract
Contrast-induced acute kidney injury is a phenomenon that has been extensively studied throughout the years. There is a large volume of literature documenting this risk, and most radiology departments and radiologists use this information when making decisions regarding contrast administration. A review of the current information on the topic of contrast-induced acute kidney injury is necessary to ensure that the risks of intravenous contrast are properly weighed against the benefits of a contrast-enhanced computed tomography scan.

Abstract
Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is reversible acute renal failure observed following administration of iodinated contrast media (CM) during angiographic or other medical procedures such as urography. There are various mechanisms through which CM develop their nephrotoxic effects, including oxidative stress and apoptosis. CIN is a real-life, albeit not very rare, entity. Exact pathophysiology remains obscure and no standard diagnostic criteria apply. The Acute Kidney Injury Network criteria was recently employed but its incidence/clinical significance warrants further clarification based on recent methodological advancements, because most published studies to date were contaminated by bias. The current study is a comprehensive review conducted to provide an overview of the basic concepts of CIN and summarize recent knowledge on its pathophysiology and the evidence supporting potential prevention strategies. CIN is expected to increase morbidity, hospital stay and mortality, while all patients scheduled to receive CM should undergo risk assessment for CIN and high-risk patients may be considered candidates for prevention strategies. The value of using compounds with antioxidant properties other than sodium bicarbonate, remains controversial, warranting further clinical investigation.
