Analysis of waste generation and environmental impact of a multi-dose iodinated contrast media injection system in an emergency radiology department
Contrast media waste remains a relevant source of environmental impact in emergency CT operations. Reducing residual ICM and optimising injector use could significantly improve sustainability and resource efficiency. Radiographers could play an important role in monitoring injector usage, promoting awareness, and implementing waste reduction strategies within clinical workflows.
