[Initial trials using Hexabrix in excretory urography in childhood].
Three contrast media--Hexabrix Conray EV and Tele-brix 300--used for urography in children were compared in a randomized controlled study; Hexabrix showed a significantly better contrasted collecting system of the kidneys. Therefore feeding of the babies and small children after injection of the contrast medium and conventional tomography were almost superfluous. There was no significant difference in side effects. Hexabrix is expensive, but in general it is possible to reduce the dose of contrast per examination without lack of information. Compared to Amipaque Hexabrix has the great advantage that it is available ready for injection.
