abstract：:Iohexol and meglumine-sodium diatrizoate were injected intravenously into 18 pigs as either a 99:1 or 1:99 mixture. Blood samples were taken for 30 minutes and the concentration of each of the two contrast media was measured by means of a double labeling technique with 125I and 131I. Relative concentrations of iohexol...
