Myelography with Iotrolan, an Isotonic Water Soluble Contrast Medium

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

Lead EDTA complex, a 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...

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...

Ioglunide: a new nonionic contrast medium for myelography and cisternography with reduced neurotoxicity.

Ioglunide, a new nonionic contrast medium, has attracted attention by its virtual absence of immediate or delayed effect on brain electrical activity in animal studies. After 126 myelographies or cisternographies with ioglunide, routine electroencephalograms (EEG) and brain potential frequency analyses were performed in 109 and 73 patients, respectively. EEG changes were noted in 3.7% of subjec...
