Evaluation of Iodoxamic Acid for Cholecystocholangiography, in Comparison with Adipiodone by a Controlled Study

Abstract

Roentgenological opacification of the biliary system and adverse reactions by a new intravenous contrast medium, iodoxamic acid was investigated in comparison with adipiodone, used in our country at present.
The comparison of both the contrast media was tried in 307 patients by a controlled study in the multiclinical system.
Iodoxamic acid was superior to adipiodone in the maximum level and the continuation of the opacification at the bile ducts. At the gallbladder, iodoxamic acid tended to show superiority over adipiodone in the maximum level but was inferior in the continuation of the opacification.
The side effects noted with iodoxamic acid tended to be less frequent and less severe than those with adipiodone.
