A comparison of different doses of non-ionic contrast media in i.v. urography.
This study attempts to find out what is the appropriate dose of non-ionic contrast media to provide an acceptable study at the lowest possible cost. 139 adults with normal renal function were studied. Four different dose regimes were employed and a standardised set of I.V.U. films were obtained. These were reviewed by two independent assessors who were unaware of the dose regime used. Each I.V.U. was scored on a modified Fry regime. This survey showed a clear relationship between quality and dosage.
