On the clinical use of thorotrast for hepatolienography
Thorotrast, a preparation by Heyden, is a colloidal solution of thorium dioxide. Its study as a contrast agent for X-ray examination of the liver and spleen was initiated in 1929 by Oka and Radt. When administered intravenously, thorotrast is absorbed by elements of the reticuloendothelial system. Attractive prospects for the use of thorotrast for X-ray examination of organs rich in reticuloendothelial elements, primarily the liver and spleen, opened up.
