✦ Synopsis
Cerebral ventriculography was performed on adult albino rats to compare the effect of metrizamide and iodophendylate on the ependymal wall. The animals were killed by vascular perfusion 1 month and 4 months after ventriculography. The ependymal layer and the underlying brain tissue were examined with the electron microscope. After the use of metrizamide the tissue appeared completely normal. The use of iodophendylate provoked accumulation of phagocytozing macrophages on the ependymal wall and storage of iodophendylate in the ependyma and underlying brain tissue. These changes were present both 1 and 4 months after ventriculography.

Meglumine sodium diatrizoate (Urografin), iopamidol, and iohexol were compared in a double-blind, randomized study of 287 patients undergoing elective cardiac angiography. Ninety-six patients received Urografin, 98 received iopamidol, and 92 received iohexol. The groups were similar in all respects.
