title: Urography with iohexol. Comparison with metrizoate and iodamide.
abstract: Comparisons of the non-ionic medium iohexol with the ionic media Na-Ca-Mg metrizoate and meglumine iodamide, were performed in two separate trials. The difference in diagnostic properties between the media was not significant. There was a significantly lower frequency of subjective sensations after iohexol than after metrizoate, whereas the difference between iohexol and iodamide in this respect was small. Regarding other adverse reactions there was a small advantage in favour of iohexol compared with metrizoate, whereas iohexol caused significantly less adverse reactions than iodamide.
