title: Single-visit oral cholecystography for inpatients.
abstract: A new one-day medication schedule for single-visit oral cholecystography is described, using both Telepaque (iopanoic acid) tablets and Oragrafin Sodium (sodium ipodate) capsules. A definitive report is rendered at the first sitting; no repeat studies are performed. Preliminary results in 45 patients demonstrate the accuracy of this technique. One-day medication makes single-visit oral cholecystography suitable for hospitalized patients.
