Popis:	Radiopaque contrast media (ROCM) are diagnostic drugs used for the enhancement of radiographic (x-ray) examinations. Although these agents have been used extensively for several years, pharmacist involvement with this category of drugs, to date, has been minimal. This article outlines several aspects of contrast media use in which pharmacists can or should become actively involved. Included in this discussion are possible roles of the pharmacist in decisions regarding respective product efficacy and use; adverse reaction prevention, reporting, monitoring, and treatment; and the evaluation of potential contrast media-drug or contrast media-laboratory test interactions. Pharmacist involvement associated with the use of traditional drugs in the performance of radiographic examinations and with technological advancements in radiology are also addressed. The overall magnitude of drug activity encountered in a radiology department suggests a needed and important role for pharmacists interested in this area.
