Brief Summary: The purpose of the study is to test the effect that contrast media dye has on cellular integrity structure
Detailed Description: The influence of several radiological contrast media on erythrocyte morphology and function has been investigated in the past 1 However published data is sparse and does not include the assessment of iso-osmolar agents as compared to low-osmolar agents

In addition the effect of the injection of contrast media at higher temperatures ie room or body temperature which may be beneficial for the rapid injection of more viscous contrast media at multi detector-row CT angiography has never been evaluated

We intend to assess the hypothesis that iso-osmolar contrast media ie Visipaque exerts less effect on erythrocyte morphology and function as compared to low-osmolar agents

In addition we intend to identify the upper temperature limit at which contrast media can be injected without affecting erythrocyte integrity

Subjects will have up tp 400 mLs approximately 26 tablespoons of blood drawn The blood will be kept at body temperature in a petri dish or similar container and exposed to contrast media dye
