Table 6- 1 broadly summarizes the differences between contrast agents. Water-solub le contrast agents are rega rded as free -pass or through-pass type contrast agents. They can free ly pass through the thinnest capillaries in the body. It is known that watersoluble contrast agents leak into the extravasc ular interstitium during the delayed phase, which may result in the false-positive diagnosis of fibrotic changes . However, the dynamic behavior during the 2-3 min from early to late phase is genera lly described as free pass.
