A double-blind comparison of iopromide and iopamidol in intravenous urography. 1990

I G Renwick, and R C Fowler

Department of Diagnostic Radiology, General Infirmary, Leeds.

A randomised double-blind comparative study was performed to assess the imaging properties and side-effects of two non-ionic contrast media, iopromide and iopamidol, in intravenous urography in high risk patients. The results showed the two contrast media to be similar in their imaging efficacy and incidence of side-effects. Using 50 or 100 ml of iopromide or iopamidol (370 mgI/ml), the quality of nephrograms was found to be dose dependent but the quality of pyelograms was not dose dependent.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007472	Iohexol	An effective non-ionic, water-soluble contrast agent which is used in myelography, arthrography, nephroangiography, arteriography, and other radiographic procedures. Its low systemic toxicity is the combined result of low chemotoxicity and low osmolality.	Compound 545,Exypaque,Iohexol 350,Nycodenz,Omnipaque
D007479	Iopamidol	A non-ionic, water-soluble contrast agent which is used in myelography, arthrography, nephroangiography, arteriography, and other radiological procedures.
