ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects on the histopathologic findings of directly injected lipiodol into lung and to identify the existence of remaining lipiodol in the lung according to the follow-up time. Forty rats were randomly assigned to 1 of 4 groups: group I (n = 1...
