[Myelography with B 15000, a new nonionic water-soluble contrast medium. Technical aspects and preliminary clinical experiences (author's transl)].
This is a report of myelography findings obtained in 50 patients with B 15000 (Iopamidol), a new non ionic water-soluble contrast medium. The procedure was easily carried out with a tilting table wired to a TV image amplifier. The dose of contrast medium injected intrathecally was 10 divided by 15 cm3 of a preconstituted solution containing iodine 200 or 300 mg/cm3. There were no accidents or major complications. The myelograms obtained with the test material afforded accurate diagnosis of intramedullary and extramedullary lesions, and signally of intervertebral disk protrusion and hernia.
