RA58 METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR USING NON-IONIC CONTRAST AGENTS TO REDUCE THE RISK OF CLOT FORMATION IN DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES In accordance with the present invention a novel method and composition for using nonionic contrast media to reduce the risk of clot formation in a diagnostic procedure is disclosed. Novel compositions for such method are also disclosed. The present method comprises employing a triiodinated phenyl contrast agent having a heterocyclic group or a dimeric triiodinated phenyl contrast agent having one or more heterocyclic groups.
