Iodinated contrast media (CM) are widely used in diagnostic imaging and therapeutic
interventional procedures of everyday clinical practice and are associated with multiple …

Purpose: To compare whole blood viscosity and erythrocyte aggregation in humans, pigs,
and sheep, before and after adding water-soluble iodinated contrast medium (CM) …

We compared blood viscosity and red blood cells (RBC) disaggregation shear stress in
three mammalian species (humans, pigs and sheep) before and after adding water-soluble …

At many points the capillaries have a considerably smaller diameter than the erythrocytes.
The normal disc-shaped erythrocytes pass through the capillaries in single file and have to …

Contrast media (CM) widely used in medicine are hyperosmotic, have a higher plasma
viscosity, density and different ionic strength than ordinary blood plasma. Therefore, a bolus …

The influence of contrast media on blood viscosity, erythrocyte morphology and platelet
function was studied. In vitro blood was incubated with iopromide (Ultravist®), ioxaglate …

Abstract Effects of high osmotic media on the shape and deformability of RBC were
examined for determining increasing factors of blood viscosity. Dog blood and Urographin (a …

A large scale study of the erythrocyte deformability in diabetes is presented. The initial
filtration flow rate method is used on diluted (white blood cells reduced) RBC suspensions …

The influence of four non-ionic contrast media and one ionic contrast medium was analyzed
on red blood cell deformability in vitro. The newly synthesized non-ionic monomeric iopentol …

The effects of three low-osmolar radiographic contrast media (CM)—two nonionic (iohexol,
iopamidol) and one ionic (ioxaglate)—on red blood cell (RBC) morphology and aggregation …
