Urography with monomeric and dimeric nonionic contrast media: comparative, randomized, double-blind study of iotrolan 280 and iopromide 300.

Abstract

In a double-blind comparative study between the nonionic, dimeric iotrolan and the nonionic, monomeric iopromide the urographic image quality in the dose 300 mg I/kg body weight is better after iopromide up to 20 minutes after the injection. This result appears to be in contradiction to the results of the animal experimental studies. Possible reasons are discussed.
