Abstract
As the cost of nonionic lower-osmolality contrast media decreases, the standard of practice for using such agents changes, and the implications of informed consent increase. Failure to use specific contrast agents appropriately or failure to respond correctly to a contrast reaction can lead to the claim of malpractice. These topics are reviewed in the context of current practice guidelines.
