In six experimental dogs, arthrographic quality and synovial inflammatory response with shoulder arthrography comparing meglumine‐sodium diatrizoate (Urovison) and the monoacidic dimer, meglumine‐sodium ioxaglate (Hexabrix) was evaluated. In our study initial films were of equally high diagnostic quality for both contrast media, but delayed films significantly favored ioxaglate for diagnostic quality. The rise in white blood cells in synovial fluid samples collected 24 hours after the arthrographic procedure was significantly lower after the use of ioxaglate. Histologic examination performed 14 days after the intra‐articular injection revealed no drug related lesions.
