title: Pain in peripheral arteriography-a comparison of a low osmolality contrast medium with a conventional compound.
abstract: The pain reaction to a new low osmolality contrast agent, sodium-methyl-glucamine-ioxaglate, in comparison to the conventional compound methylglucamine-ioxitalamate was tested and statistically evaluated in 12 patients using the visual analogue scale method. The intensity of pain experienced was significantly smaller following intra-arterial injection of the compound of low osmolality as compared to the conventional contrast agent.
