[Histological changes in the liver and lungs of rabbits after experimental hepatography with iophendylate emulsion]

Hepatography with a 75% iodophendylate emulsion was carried out in 21 rabbits to which the contrast medium had been introduced after laparotomy in a dose of 0.84-1.9 g/kg. The roentogenological and histological dynamics and the liver contrasting was studied in its continuity. In experimental hepatography the emulsification of iodophendylate does not cause any damaging effect on the liver and the lungs. In the mechanism of the emulsified iodophendylate elimination of prime importance are phagocytic cellular reactions on the part of lympho- and histocytic elements.
