title: [Cervical myelography with water-soluble contrast medium (Metrizamide). Technique and preliminary results (author's transl)].
abstract: Use of a water-soluble contrast medium for cervical spinal diagnosis has become possible with the introduction of Metrizamide (Amipaqque). Injection of contrast at the C.1/2 level by a lateral approach results in excellent visualisation of the cervical theca with previously unobtainable detail. This technique, which is so far not well known, allows a rapid examination and when used with the new, well tolerated contrast media provides optimal diagnostic results.
