MYELOGRAPHY IN THE LUMBAR REGION WITH WATER-SOLUBLE CONTRAST MEDIUM

Myelography in the lumbar region with water-soluble contrast medium.

Neurotoxicity of nonionic iodinated water-soluble contrast media in myelography: experimental study.

The neurotoxicity of four contrast media--iotrol, iopamidol, metrizamide, and ioglunide--was studied by subarachnoid injection in 14 rabbits implanted with four cerebral electrodes. Thirty-four recordings and quantitative analyses were carried out of spontaneous electrical brain activity, seizure activity, and visual- and somatosensory-evoked potentials. The quantitative study of the electroenc...

Lead EDTA complex, a water-soluble contrast medium.

Removal of water-soluble contrast media after cervical myelography using cervical injection.

The development of thin-section high-resolution computed tomography (CT) has resulted in increased use of postmyelogram CT for the diagnosis of cervical disk disease. Complications of myelography appear to be related to the dose and the amount of intracranial spillage. Postmyelogram and preCT removal of water-soluble contrast material decreases the total dose of contrast material without compro...

Lumbar myelography with metrizamide: supplemental techniques.

In a pilot group of 20 sequential patients who underwent metrizamide lumbar myelography, three modifications in technique were compared: (1) a "30" min delayed frontal projection, (2) supine projection of the conus medullaris, and (3) horizontal beam oblique views of the lumbosacral theca. The study showed much better opacification of the lowermost lumbar and the sacral root sleeves by delayed ...
