Study was conducted on 12 healthy mongrel dogs of either sex divided into 2 groups of 6 each. In group I, iohexol(300 mg of I/mL) and in group II, iopamidol(300 mg of I/mL) was administered @ 0.3 mL/kg by cisternal puncture. The lateral and ventrodorsal myelograms were obtained at 5,15,30,60 and 90 rnin after contrast medium injection. Myelograms were evalunfed and compared by blind scoring method for different radiographic qualities. Myelograms appeared to be uniform and of superior radiographic quality and were of diagnostic value up to 60 rnin in both groups.
