    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Vascular Imaging
    • Contrast Media

    Background:

    • Ascending phlebography is a key diagnostic tool for venous evaluation.
    • Selecting appropriate contrast media is crucial for diagnostic accuracy and patient safety.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the safety, tolerance, and image quality of Hexabrix and Hexabrix-20 in ascending phlebography.
    • To evaluate Hexabrix and Hexabrix-20 as contrast media for venous imaging.

    Main Methods:

    • A randomized, double-blind study involving 50 patients undergoing ascending phlebography.
    • Assessment of safety, patient tolerance, and diagnostic image quality for both contrast media concentrations.

    Main Results:

    • Both Hexabrix and Hexabrix-20 demonstrated favorable safety profiles and were well tolerated by patients.

  • Excellent image quality was achieved in 80% of cases with Hexabrix and 72% with Hexabrix-20.
  • No significant differences in safety or tolerance were observed between the two concentrations.

    • Conclusions:

    • Hexabrix and Hexabrix-20 are confirmed as safe and effective contrast media for ascending phlebography.
    • Both concentrations provide high-quality diagnostic images, supporting their clinical utility.
