Quantification of tantalum sedimentation rates in liquid embolic agents.

Conclusion Caution during long injections using tantalum-based agents is advised. Onyx 18® has a significantly faster drop in radiopacity compared to SQUID 12® and SQUID 18®. Covalently bonded iodine-based embolics like PHIL® demonstrate constant radiopacity over time.
