title: [Evaluation of diagnostic efficacy and clinical tolerability of ioversol in "whole body" computed tomography in children. A non comparative phase III trial].
abstract: An open-label noncomparative clinical study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and tolerance of ioversol (Optiray 300), a new low-osmolality non ionic contrast medium, in body contrast-enhanced CT scanning in infants and children. Fourty pediatric patients who required contrast-enhanced CT scanning for evaluation of chest, abdominal or pelvic masses participated in the study. The vascular enhancement was judged to be excellent or good in 72.5% of the cases and the CT scans were judged to be diagnostic in 95% of the cases. Ioversol was well tolerated in the study with only two mild adverse reactions (nausea and vomiting, and metallic taste).
