Iobitridol was clinically tested in DSA against iopromide (i.v. DSA) or iohexol (i.a. DSA) in 139 patients. Seven patients participated in the i.v. DSA trial and 60 in the i.a. DSA study. Each examination was rated as diagnostic or not and the image quality was noted. Nature, onset, intensity and outcome of each adverse reaction were recorded. There was no significant difference in imaging quality and side effect occurrence between the 2 groups. We conclude that iobitridol is a safe and efficient contrast medium, which can be recommended for DSA examinations.
