Computed tomographic demonstration of hepatic tumor with the aid of intravenous iodinated fat emulsion. An experimental study

M Vermess, RH Adamson, JL Doppman and M Girton

Computed tomography showed improved visualization of carcinogen-induced hepatoma in monkeys following intravenous injection of an experimental contrast material AG 60-99; selective opacification of the liver and spleen was accomplished with a dose of greater than or equal to 0.1 ml/kg, a fraction of the dose used in conventional x-ray tomography. This marked reduction was made possible by the improved density resolution of the CT scanner. This may be the first organ-specific contrast material intended primarily for use with CT scanners.
