In the present series of studies we investigated differences in vitro and in animal experiments between iopamidol (Iopamiron, CAS 60166-93-0) and ioversol (CAS 87771-40-2). The studies included the in vitro investigations partition coefficient, lysozyme inhibition, coagulation time and erythrocyte morphology as well as the in vivo paradigms acute toxicity, neural toxicity, general behavior/locomotor activity and angiography. Iopamidol was superior to ioversol in most of the tests. In spite of its higher hydrophilicity, ioversol did not show improved tolerance in comparison to iopamidol.

Purpose: This multicenter prospective study aimed to evaluate the quality and diagnostic effectiveness of cerebral angiography images obtained using low-concentration iodinated contrast agents (iohexol 240 mgI/mL, iopamidol 250 mgI/mL, and iodixanol 270 mgI/mL) and to assess the safety thereof. The study addresses the need for safer contrast agent alternatives without compromising the diagnostic quality of identifying cerebrovascular disease.
Materials And Methods: Conducted in 5 medical centers in South Korea, we enrolled patients aged 19 years or older who were referred for diagnostic cerebral angiography under non-emergency conditions, excluding those with specific health conditions and sensitivities.

Purpose: To compare 2 ratios of n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate (nBCA)-ethiodized oil (Lipiodol)-iopamidol (NLI) in balloon-assisted portal vein embolization (PVE) in swine.
Materials And Methods: In an in vitro study, NLI prepared at a ratio of 2:3:1 (NLI231) or 1:4:1 (NLI141) was injected into 2.5- or 10-mL syringes filled with swine blood, and the viscosity of NLI was measured to determine an appropriate balloon occlusion time.

We compared the image quality of abdominopelvic single-energy CT with 100 kVp (SECT-100 kVp) and dual-energy CT with 65 keV (DECT-65 keV) obtained with customized injection protocols to standard abdominopelvic CT scans (SECT-120 kVp) with fixed volumes of contrast media (CM). We retrospectively included 91 patients (mean age, 60.7 ± 15.

The first objective of this prospective, randomized, crossover experimental trial was to compare the rostral spread of lumbosacral epidural volume calculated by body weight (BW) or vertebral column length (LE) in 6 small, isoflurane-anesthetized female beagle dogs (BW: 7.5 to 10.2 kg; LE measured from the occipital crest to the sacrococcygeal space: 46 to 56 cm).

The objective of this study was to compare the rostral spread of lumbosacral epidural volumes of a mixture of dye and contrast medium, calculated using body weight (BW) or vertebral column length (LE), in 22 dog cadavers. The dogs weighed 4.6 to 52.
