Popis: Patients with catecholamine-producing tumors (pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas) do not need any special preparation before they receive non-ionic iodine-based contrast medium or any gadolinium-based contrast medium intravenously. It is recommended that such patients should receive oral α- and β-adrenergic blocking drugs before they are given non-ionic iodine-based contrast media intra-arterially.
