Rationale And Objectives: Higher contrast between normal and pathologic tissues in the liver may enable detection of smaller lesions in computed tomography (CT). This can be obtained using a liver-specific contrast medium. The authors evaluate a new agent, IEEC (1'-Ethyloxycarbonyloxy)-ethyl-5-acetylamino-3-(N-methyl-acetylami no)-2,4,6- triiodo-benzenecarboxylate), in an animal model, as a potential contrast agent for CT scanning of the liver.

Rationale And Objectives: The authors compared the physiologic and nephrotoxic effects of the magnetic resonance imaging contrast medium gadopentetate with two conventional radiographic contrast media.
Methods: Rabbits were injected intravenously with one of the following solutions: 1) gadopentetate (0.1 M); 2) iohexol (300 mg I/mL); 3) metrizoate (300 mg I/mL); and 4) NaCl (0.

A randomized study was conducted in 43 patients who were in pain due to acute ureteral obstruction. Emergency urography was performed in all patients, using either a low osmolar non-ionic (iohexol) or a high osmolar ionic (metrizoate) contrast medium. Increase of pain following injection of contrast media was found in 56 percent of all patients.

Thirty-two children were given either metrizoate or iohexol for urography in a double blind study. Mild to moderate adverse reactions were observed in all patients receiving metrizoate (15/15) and in 4 receiving iohexol (4/17). Alkaline phosphatase in urine was significantly increased 4 hours after the injection of both media, but had returned to pre-injection levels 16 hours later.

The pathophysiology of radiographic contrast media-induced acute renal failure is unclear. Different causes are suggested, including hypertonicity, charged molecules, and toxicity of the media. This study deals with hemodynamic changes after injection of contrast media of high osmolarity iohexol, and metrizoate.
