title: The vasodilator action of angiography with Urografin 60% on the basal vessels of the brain of the baboon.
abstract: Angiography under experimental conditions shows that Urografin has a vasodilator action of the order of 8% upon the basal cerebral arteries of the baboon. This action is not seen within the first 4 sec of the angiogram and the dilator effect of a single injection has passed off completely 15 min later. Three successive injections within 7 min show little evidence of cumulative vasodilatation. The vasodilator action of three successive angiograms has disappeared 22 to 29 min later. Because of wide variations in the degree of vasodilatation shown by individual baboons it may be necessary to use each baboon as its own control in subsequent work.
