title: [Value of Dimer-X myelography in the diagnosis of lumbar intravertebral disk lesions].
abstract: On the basis of 500 myelogramms carried out with hexaiodated, water soluble, and rapidly absorbable Dimer X, the experiences gained in the diagnoses of damages of the lumbar intervertebral disks are presented. It can be stated that Dimer-X myelography has proved to be very useful for the recognition of space-narrowing processes in the lumbar region. No serious complications were observed. Most of the troubles, including, for example, transitory headache and the like, correspond to those sometimes found after simple lumbar punctures.
