Cisternogr. &  ventriculography (Iopamiro 300): 5-15 ml.
Angiography:
Cerebr. arteriogr. (Iopamiro 300): 5-10 ml per bolus.
Coron. arteriogr. (Iopamiro 370): 8-15 ml per bolus.
Thoracic aortogr. (Iopamiro 370): 1.0-1.2 ml/kg.
Abdom. aortogr. (Iopamiro 370): 1.0-1.2 ml/kg.
Angiocardiogr. (Iopamiro 370): 1.0-1.2 ml/kg.

Urogr.: recom. dosage is 30-50 ml for adlts.
