Thorotrast,†a 25 per cent stabilized colloidal solution of thorium dioxide, is a very satisfactory medium for this procedure. This radiopaque contrast medium was used first for hepatosplenography.1, 2It has been used without apparent serious immediate or remote ill effects by a number of investigators in this country3, 4, 5in spite of its non-acceptance by the Council on Pharmacy and Chemistry of the American Medical Association.6For several years it has been used extensively both abroad and in the United...Bibliography1.
