Abstract

Various water soluble contrast media (WSCM) were injected subcutaneously into 970 hind feet of 485 rats. Gross morphologic changes were seen after the injection and analyzed as a function of various physicochemical characteristics of WSCM. The WSCM of larger volume, higher osmolality, higher iodine content, and meglumine salts rather than sodium salts caused more severe tissue damage; younger rats showed more severe tissue damage by WSCM of high osmolality.
