    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Neuroradiology
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Cerebral angiography requires effective and safe contrast agents.
    • Ioxaglic acid (Hexabrix) is a newer agent for vascular imaging.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of ioxaglic acid (Hexabrix) in cerebral angiography.
    • To assess patient-reported pain and overall side effect incidence.

    Main Methods:

    • An open-labelled clinical study involving sixty patients.
    • Administration of ioxaglic acid (Hexabrix) for carotid and brachiocephalic injections.
    • Assessment of pain, side effects, and radiographic film quality.

    Main Results:

    • Only 4% of patients reported significant pain during injections.

  • No increased incidence of side effects or adverse events were observed.
  • Radiographic film quality was excellent and comparable to conventional agents.

    • Conclusions:

    • Ioxaglic acid (Hexabrix) is a safe and well-tolerated contrast agent for cerebral angiography.
    • Hexabrix demonstrates efficacy with high-quality imaging and minimal patient discomfort.
