title: Acute toxicity of iopentol in rodents.
abstract: Testing of the intravenous toxicity (LD50) of iopentol in mice and rats showed results comparable to the toxicity of non-ionic monomeric contrast media already in clinical use. Toxicity data suggest that iopentol may be a useful compound for use as an intravascular radiographic contrast medium.
