  • Title: [A comparison of the side effects of water-soluble contrast media for lumbar myelography (author's transl)].
    Author: Hickel D, Reisner K, Dinkloh H.
    Journal: Rofo; 1979 Apr; 130(4):470-1. PubMed ID: 155604.
    Abstract:
    A prospective comparison study of the water-soluble contrast media Amipaque and Dimer-X was performed on 200 lumbar myelograms. During this investigation, and amongst a total of 1702 myelograms with Dimer-X, there were only transient mild side effects; these were somewhat more common with Amipaque. There were no sequelae, particularly those of a neurological nature. After careful clinical examination, and by observing certain precautionary measures, it is possible to perform lumbar myelography with water-soluble contrast media on an out-patient basis.
