Abstract

A randomized double blind crossover test with iohexol and the new non-ionic contrast medium iopentol in 12 patients undergoing carotid angiography showed no difference in tolerability, EEG, ECG, neurologic status or image quality. Iopentol seems to be well suited for cerebral angiography.
