    Notes: Abstract Non-ionic contrast media (CM) are proven to be significantly safer than the high osmolar ionic contrast media (HOCM). Nevertheless deaths are reported after administration of non-ionic agents. The aim of the study was to investigate the rate of adverse reactions to non-ionic CM with special regard to high-risk patients and the effects of premedication with H1-and H2-receptor antagonists. In a prospective study conducted over about 2 years 12 995 examinations with intravenous or intra-arterial non-ionic CM were evaluated. Premedication with H1-and H2-antagonists was used in 1276 high-risk patients with known adverse reaction to CM, history of allergy or severe cardiac or pulmonary disease. 229 patients received no premedication inspite of known risk factors. In total, there were 143 (1.10%) adverse reactions (mild in 0.58%, moderate in 0.41% and severe in 0.05%). In high-risk patients there were adverse reactions in 4.37% without and in 1.57% with premedication. There were no severe adverse reactions in the high-risk patients after premedication. The age of the patient, CM dosage and CM concentration were not shown to be risk factors in the present study. In conclusion, the additional premedication with H1- and H2-antagonists could be an effective agent to reduce the risk of mild and moderate adverse reactions and to avoid severe adverse reactions in high-risk patients.

    Notes: Abstract Ultrasound and MR imaging are both methods suitable for imaging neuromuscular diseases: howeverever, contrast media like Gd-DTPA are, to our knowledge, not used so far. In this article we report about our experience of the use of Gd DTPA in imaging myositis.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Die Computertomographie des Rumpfes und der Extremitäten hat ihren Nutzen in der prä- und postoperativen Diagnostik bereits dargetan, indem die diagnostische Sicherheit morphologischer umschriebener Läsionen von keiner anderen Methode erreicht werden kann. Dabei handelt es sich um eine nicht invasive Methode mit einer Röntgenstrahlendosis, welche mit der einer einzigen Abdomenübersichtsaufnahme vergleichbar ist. Die Kosten der Geräteanschaffung sind hoch. Nimmt man aber alles andere auch in Rechnung, z. B. Vermeidung stationärer Aufenthalte, so sind die Gesamtkosten einer CT-Untersuchung nicht höher als bei vielen invasiven Untersuchungen.
    Notes: Summary Computerized tomography of the body has made obvious the advantage as pre- and postoperative diagnostic procedure, since the accuracy of detection of cirumscript lesions cannot be obtained by any other diagnostic method. Moreover, it is a noninvasive method with an X-ray dose comparable to that for a plain abdominal X-ray. The costs of the machine are high. But taking into account for instance the unnecessary hospitalization, the expenditure is not higher than for many of the invasive methods.
