Advisory

As the authoritative national voice of radiology, the Canadian Association of Radiologists (CAR) is dedicated to providing up-to-date information on issues that affect patient health as related to the practice of radiology.

As part of this commitment, CAR develops advisories aimed at providing clarification on issues when there are varying points of view. Developed and updated by CAR working groups, and approved by CAR's Board of Directors, these advisories contain background information and evidence-based support of the Association's stated position on various issues.

We invite you to review the CAR National Advisory on Gadolinium Administration and Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis, as well as the "CAR Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis (NSF) - Guidelines 2009" poster.
