A comparison of iocetamic acid and sodium iopodate in cholecystography.

Abstract

Cholecystography was carried out on 456 consecutive patients using varying dosage schedules of cholebrine (iocetamic acid) tablets and biloptin (sodium iopodate) tablets. The density of gall-bladder gave the impression of a slightly greater opacification with cholebrin tablets. Quality of common duct demonstration was equally good with both media, with those patients having a morning dose of contrast giving the best demonstration.
