|
This gives you resistance
|
Viscosity
|

Agents with megulmine are more viscous than sodium. Temperature will also affect viscosity. Comtrast at body temperature will decrease patient discomfort. |
|
|
This gives you the opacity
|
Strength
|
Amount of iodine concentration. Iodine us slightly more radio Paquette than lead, the more iodine the higher the osmolity.
|
|
|
How toxic or nontoxic the contrast is
|
