Lumbar radiculography with metrizamide. A nonionic water-soluble contrast medium.
Six hundred lumbar radiculographies were performed with metrizamide in 581 patients. Excellent radiographs were obtained in almost all cases. The adverse effects were minor and no serious complications occurred. The authors consider metrizamide superior to other water-soluble contrast media in present use from both toxicological and radiological points of view.
