title: [Development of non-iodized oily agent in targeting chemoembolization for hepatocellular carcinoma].
abstract: The purpose of this study was to evaluate a new oily agent in targeting chemoembilization for hepatocellular carcinoma. The oily preparation was made by mixing non-iodinated poppy seed oil and a thickener to obtain the same viscosity as Lipiodol. The oily preparation and Lipiodol were compared by injecting them into the hepatic artery of rabbits inoculated with VX 2 carcinoma in their liver. On the CT scan following intra-arterial injection, tumors were visibly stained in the non-iodinated preparation group, whereas the Lipiodol group was not evaluable because of excessively high attenuation. The non-iodinated oily preparation was concluded to be of clinical significance.
