It can be seen that in practice a compromise should be sought between particles with a high iodine content, which can be roentgenologically perfectly monitored, and those with a low iodine content, which swell well. Moreover, it is necessary for medical applications that emboli should also preserve a sufficient mechanical stability. These requirements are best met by particles with a 25-30 wt.% of iodine which can be adequately monitored when being introduced into the blood vessels and which also enable the checking of their performance in viva without the necessity for angiography.
