  • Title: Metrizamide evaluation of the esophagus in infants.
    Author: Belt T, Cohen MD.
    Journal: AJR Am J Roentgenol; 1984 Aug; 143(2):367-9. PubMed ID: 6611069.
    Abstract:
    Barium and conventional hypertonic water-soluble contrast media (e.g., Gastrografin) are not ideal contrast agents in the evaluation of the esophagus when leakage into the mediastinum or aspiration into the lung is possible. Metrizamide (Amipaque) is water-soluble and can be well visualized in isotonic solution. Three cases are presented where metrizamide was used successfully in the evaluation of suspected esophageal perforation or tracheoesophageal fistula.
