title: Myelography with metrizamide in the study of the lumbosacral tract.
abstract: The authors report their experience with Metrizamide (Amipaque) in the myelographic study of the lubosacrale) in the myelographic study of the lumbosacral tract. They compare their results with those obtained with other hydrosoluble contrast agents and correlate them with surgical findings.
