[edit] This

This comment may or not be debateable, however, use of the word "harmless" in relation to a contrast agent is misleading for these reasons:

 All radioisotope injections [contrast agents] carry some risk to certain patients. 

Therefore, if the contrast agent is described as "harmless" then it infers that there are no risks involved to any patients. 2] One risk is that the patient may be allergic to the contrast agent. There may be other risks but will not be mentioned here. The the object of this edit is to avoid reliance on the word "harmless." Gammarama 22:06, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
