[Combined endoscopic-endographic diagnosis of the larynx and trachea with contrast medium powders].
The endographic examination by means of pulverized contrast media such as tantalum or visotrast acid has proved to be appropriate in laryngotracheobronchial diseases as a simple and safe, endoscopy-complementing method. It gives diagnostic radiological information in addition to endoscopic, orthograde evaluation by the frontal and sagittal image of the organ in which details of the structure and alterations can be detected. In 170 different examinations of the organ no threatening side-effects could be observed, even not in cases of remarkably obstructive changes. When giving contrast media containing iodine any known iodine allergies should be avoided, despite the water-insolubility of the complex iodine compound.
