AG 60.99: A promising contrast agent for computed tomography of the liver and spleen.
AG 60.99, an emulsion of poppy-seed oil, is proposed as a promising organ-specific agent for computed tomography (CT) of the liver and spleen. This agent not only opacifies the hepatic parenchyma enough to enhance visualization of the bile ducts but also demonstrates the vascular anatomy with smaller doses than those required for conventional studies.
