Abstract
For biliary tract dieases, drip infusion cholangiography (DIC) offers available visualization and information relating to levels of impaired liver function. In this paper, serum total bilirubin, glutamine oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT), glutamine pyruvic transaminase (GPT) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) were examined as the indexes of liver function in 268 cases of cholelithiasis mainly. On those cases, Meglumine iotroxate was drip-injected as a contrast medium of DIC, and the relation between the respective level and optimum time for the best visualization of the common hepatic duct and common bile duct was analysed. Furthermoer Meglumine adipiodon was also examined, and both succesful visualizations were comparied. As a result, it was proposed that the successful visualization of Meglumine iotroxate was shown earlier and clearer than that of Meglumine the successful visualization of Meglumine iotroxate was shown earlier and clearer than that of Meglumine iotroxate was more useful and more sensitive to get successful visualization of the extrahepatic duct as contrast media of DIC in liver function disorder cases in some extent.
