A recent coronavirus disease 2019-related shutdown of the main production facility of iohexol in China has led to massive shortages of iodinated contrast material across the globe. This shortage has also jeopardized neuroimaging. In this article, we describe remedies to reduce iodinated contrast material use for stroke imaging, which is its primary use in neuroimaging, that we have implemented in our hospital network.
近期中国发生了与 COVID-19 相关的 2019 年冠状病毒病（coronavirus disease 2019，COVID-19）致使碘海醇主要生产厂关闭事件，导致全球范围内碘化对比剂大规模短缺。这种短缺也危及神经影像学。在本文中，我们描述了在我们的医院网络中实施的减少神经影像学中卒中成像所用碘对比剂用量的方法，这是其在神经影像学中的主要用途。
