AB SUMMARY: A recent coronavirus disease 2019–related shutdown of the main production facility of iohexol in China has led to massive shortages of iodinated contrast material across the globe. This shortage has also jeopardized neuroimaging. In this article, we describe remedies to reduce iodinated contrast material use for stroke imaging, which is its primary use in neuroimaging, that we have implemented in our hospital network.BIBusiness IntelligenceCEcontrast-enhancedcoronavirus diseaseCOVIDECRendovascular clot retrievalICMiodinated contrast materialTmaxtime-to-maximum
