title: Iohexol and diatrizoate: comparison in visceral arteriography.
abstract: Iohexol, a low osmolality, nonionic contrast medium, and diatrizoate, a conventional, ionic contrast medium, were evaluated for patient tolerance during visceral arteriography. Almost all the procedures performed with iohexol were painless: most patients given this agent reported only a mild feeling of warmth. Diatrizoate produced some pain and a feeling of intense heat in most patients. Both media produced excellent radiographic results, and no serious adverse reactions occurred.
