Abstract

Contrast agents are chemical compounds that allow better visualization of the inside of the animal’s organism. Chemical changes to the original structures have resulted in the synthesis of safer and more effective contrasts, however adverse reactions have not been eliminated. Therefore it is important for the person who administers contrast agents to be intimately familiar with their characteristics, indications, and potential side effects. The use of contrast agents is determined on an individual basis according to the clinical symptoms, age and type of patient.
