Summary
The purpose of this study is to show that the use of low volume iso-osmolar non-ionic radio
contrast medium (30 cc) in a thoracic CT Scanning procedure in a selected group of patients
with chronic kidney disease (CKD) will avoid contrast induced nephropathy (CIN) in comparison
to a similar group of patients with CKD who receive no contrast medium..
