ABSTRACT
Karim Abd H,
Radhi MM, Magnesium sulfate nano-molecular contrast media for cardiac and kidney
computed tomography. Onl J Vet Res., 25 (4): 272-280,
2021. The
most common contrast medium for computed tomography (CT-Scan) examinations is
iodine solution. However, iodine compounds can induce allergy and/or kidney
failure. We describe production and tomography for magnesium sulfate
nanoparticle solution alternative contrast agent. Compared with rabbits given 1 to 5ml iodine HU values were comparable
with those given only 0.5 to 2.5ml nanoparticles. Magnesium sulfate nanoparticles
concentrations were 15mg/ml compared with 350mg/ml iodine or 23 times greater.
At 2ml nanoparticles contrast was higher (108.2) than 4ml iodine (94). We did
not observe any adverse symptoms in rabbits treated with iodine or
nanoparticles. We surmise that at low doses (0.5ml to 2ml) magnesium,
nanoparticles may have application as contrast agent for CT scans.
