Abstract Iotrolan, a new non-ionic, dimeric, iodinated contrast agent, was compared with iohexol, a non-ionic, monomeric contrast agent, for suitability in pediatric patients. Two studies were performed. The gastrointestinal medication was studied in 20 infants using iotrolan 300 versus iohexol 300. Contrast quality with iotrolan 300 appears to be superior to iohexol 300. The renal indication was studied in a large, multicenter, double-blind trial, 167 children received intravenous doses of either iotrolan 280 or iohexol 300 for urography, and contrast quality and safety were assessed. Iotrolan 280 appears to give better contrast quality in all areas of the kidney and the ureters. On the results of our experience, we recommend iotrolan 300 for gastrointestinal imaging in pediatries, where barium sulfate is contraindicated, and iotrolan 280 in pediatric urography. We suggest that iotrolan 280 may also be suitable for all intravascular administrations.
