Additional insights and guidance into contrast media usage

RANZCR member Dr Shalini Amukotuwa and her colleagues has published an article in JMIRO on the Australian perspective of contrast media shortages. This is available with free access. It has very useful current information for clinicians and outlines some of the measures taken in two large Victorian hospitals on managing the short supply of contrast.  

One of RANZCR’s strategic priorities is to advance research, and this is an example of our radiologists taking the initiative to publish articles of great importance. RANZCR President Clin. A/Prof Sanjay Jeganathan would like to thank Prof Michael Barton, Editor JMIRO, his editorial team for timely action and Wiley publishers for their effort in getting this published in record time and making it a free access article.
