Effectiveness of urologic contrast media

Abstract

The assessment of the effectiveness of urologic contrast media from the film appearances has proved insufficient. The present study took the form of comparative urographies with diodone and triiodyl combined with chemical estimation of the iodine contents in the urine. Diodone proved superior for the purposes of routine urography, whereas triiodyl presumably has its particular range of indication when patients cannot be prepared in the usual way or when the renal concentration is reduced.
