Abstract

Radiological contrast media play an essential role in radiology departments by facilitating more precise and detailed images. It is important to note that for radiologists the use of these contrast agents implies several legal responsibilities and ethical considerations towards patients. This article will explore the main issues related to responsibility and complication management for radiologists, referring physicians and other related professionals, as well as issues around informed consent, contraindications for their use and the benefit-risk balance assessed when deciding if a contrast-enhanced test should be carried out. In addition, we will address the crucial role of the radiologist in effective communication with patients and in obtaining informed consent. This research relates to Spanish legislation in the context of medical practice.

Resumen

Los medios de contraste radiológicos desempeñan un papel esencial en los servicios de radiodiagnóstico al facilitar la obtención de imágenes más precisas y detalladas. Su utilización supone para los radiólogos una serie de responsabilidades legales y consideraciones éticas para con los pacientes, que conviene tener presentes. En este artículo exploraremos los principales temas relacionados con la responsabilidad en el uso de los contrastes y manejo de sus complicaciones, incluyendo la responsabilidad de los radiólogos, de los médicos peticionarios y de otros profesionales relacionados, así como el consentimiento informado, las contraindicaciones y el balance beneficio-riesgo en el proceso de decisión sobre la realización de una prueba radiológica con contraste. Además, abordaremos el papel crucial del radiólogo en la comunicación efectiva con los pacientes y la obtención del consentimiento informado. Todo ello siempre dentro del contexto de la práctica médica y legislación española.
