Critical evaluation of a new water soluble contrast medium (Iopamidolo) in cervical myelograms. 1982

B Tanghetti, and F Giunta, and G Marini, and A Orlandini, and G F Gualandi

The Authors report the preliminary results in 96 cervical myelograms performed by percutaneous subarachnoid injection at the level C1-C2 of a new water soluble contrast medium (Iopamidolo*). Compared to other water soluble contrast media Iopamidolo offers some advantages: (1) it is a time stable solution ready for immediate use; (2) it gives an ideal density for the study of the cervical spinal canal; (3) it provides high quality radiograms suitable for magnification of anatomical details which give a more accurate surgical diagnosis; (4) it is well tolerated without significant sequelae; no delayed complications were reported up to 15 months. This contrast medium gives valuable results also in myelograms performed by lumbar route.
