The Great Contrast Shortage of 2022 —Lessons learnt in Australia
ConclusionOur findings demonstrate that the IBCM shortage crisis had a very significant impact on the delivery of healthcare. While V/Q scans could (partially) substitute for CTPA studies in suspected pulmonary emboli, there appeared to be no valid alternative for CTNA studies in stroke calls. The unexpected and critical shortage of IBCM forced healthcare professionals to conserve resources, prioritise indications, triage patients based on risk, explore alternate imaging strategies and prepare for similar events recurring in the future.

Acute Neurological Complications of COVID-19
The coronavirus 19 (COVID-19) pandemic has impacted many lives globally. Neurological manifestations have been observed among individuals at various stages and severity of the disease, the most common being stroke. Prompt identification of these neurological diagnoses can affect patient management and prognosis. This chapter will discuss the acute neuroradiological features typical of COVID-19, including cerebrovascular disease, intracerebral hemorrhage, leukoencephalopathy, and sensory neuropathies.

Rapid Response to the Acute Iodinated Contrast Shortage During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Single-Institution Experience
Modern health care depends upon the use of radiologic imaging for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. Iodinated contrast media (ICM) is used in radiology primarily for CT and fluoroscopy-guided procedures. Outside radiology, other services that use ICM include cardiology, vascular surgery, neurology, urology, and gastroenterology. Quaternary care academic medical centers with level I trauma services, comprehensive stroke centers, and ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction services all rely heavily upon a steady supply of ICM to treat patients.

COVID-19 pandemic: Real-world experiences and lessons learned
Interv Neuroradiol. 2021 Oct;27(1_suppl):36-38. doi: 10.1177/15910199211035904.ABSTRACTThe COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted all walks of life on an unprecedented scale. In the following report, we recount the experience of stroke and neurointerventional practitioners from different parts of India. It was written in September 2020 when the first wave of the pandemic was at its zenith in India and vaccines were not yet available.PMID:34747646 | DOI:10.1177/15910199211035904

Coronavirus disease 2019 and stroke
Interv Neuroradiol. 2021 Oct 20:15910199211035920. doi: 10.1177/15910199211035920. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe multisystem nature of coronavirus disease 2019 has become increasingly clear over the course of the pandemic. Both the neurological and vascular systems are affected, impacting acute stroke. This impact can be conceptualised as direct and indirect effects of the disease. The direct effects of coronavirus disease 2019 on stroke are thought to relate to receptor-mediated tissue invasion and the marked inflammatory response to the presence of the virus. These effects include coagulopathies, endotheliitis, syste...
