This educational event aims to provide a thorough guide for radiologists on the appropriate use of iodinated based contrast agents, particularly focusing on special patient populations, including elderly patients, pediatric patients, pregnant or breastfeeding women. Facilitated by a young radiologist alongside a representative from a pharmaceutical company specializing in contrast agents, the primary objective is to deliver clear and accurate information regarding the use of these products. The content will align with the approved European product summaries concerning contrast agent usage and guidelines from scientific societies. The event seeks to empower radiologists with the knowledge necessary to make informed decisions regarding contrast agent administration in special patient populations.
