NON-IONIC CONTRAST MEDIA

Ionic or non-ionic contrast media in stent placement.

In his letter to the editor, Dr Schräder poses the rhetorical question of whether the results of our study are ‘true’. To substantiate his doubts, he points out that different non-ionic contrast media (CM) were used in our study and calls for a subgroup analysis. In addition, he refers to the data obtained during the COURT trial. I am very happy to be given this opportunity to discuss the inter...

Comparison of ionic, monomer, high osmolar contrast media with non-ionic, dimer, iso-osmolar contrast media in ERCP.

OBJECTIVE Pancreatitis is the most common and serious complication of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Several studies have compared contrast media (CM) with different osmolalities, but the results are conflicting. We conducted this study to clarify the difference between 2 CM used in ERCP. METHODS Five hundred and seventy-six patients were examined by using ERCP in our ...

Do Non-Ionic Contrast Media Temporarily Improve Corneal Transparency?

Dear Editor, Phacoemulsification in eyes with scarred corneas is challenging and due to the poor surgical view, carries an increased risk of complications. 1 In healthy eyes, the cornea is transparent due to the small diameter, and relatively regular size and spacing of stromal collagen fibrils, in addition to similarity of the refractive indices of collagen fibrils (1.411) and the extrafibrill...

Diagnostic image quality of hysterosalpingography: ionic versus non ionic water soluble iodinated contrast media

OBJECTIVE To compare the diagnostic image quality between three different water soluble iodinated contrast media in hysterosalpingography (HSG). MATERIAL AND METHOD In a prospective randomised study of 204 patients, the diagnostic quality of images obtained after hysterosalpingography were evaluated using Iopramide (106 patients) and Ioxaglate (98 patients). 114 patients who had undergone HSG...
