Examination of the nephrographic potential of iotrol by computed tomography.
The x-ray attenuation of the renal cortex of dogs, as determined by computed tomographic (CT) scanning, was measured over a three-day period after an intravenous bolus of 600 mg I/kg of iotrol or iopamidol. A slightly higher density observed 24 hours after injection of iotrol was not considered significant, and was not considered sufficient to warrant clinical application of iotrol for specific, prolonged renal enhancement.
