A new radio-opaque agent, 3-acetylaminomethyl-5-acetylamino-2, 4, 6-triiodobenzoic acid (Jodamide) was examined for excretory pyelography in 76 cases ranging in age from 12 to 74 years.
With this procedure, contrast effects, optimal exposure times and side effects were investigated.
According to dosage and density of contrast media which was injected rapidly within 90 seconds, 76 patients were divided into A, B and C groups.
On A group (20 cases) injected 20ml of 60% iodamide, satisfactory excretory pyelogram was obtained in 85. 0 per cent of the cases.
On B group (21 cases) injected 40ml of 60% iodamide, 90.0 per cent of the cases was good enough to satisfy.
On C group (35 cases) injected 20ml of 80% iodamide, satisfactory result was obtained in 80.0 per cent of the cases.
