Abstract
AMONG the relatively new orally administered radio-opaque mediums for cholecystography that are in common use today, Priodax (iodoalphionic acid) has enjoyed the greatest popularity since its introduction ten years ago. In recent years it has been in regular use at the Central Maine General Hospital. However, Menophen, placed on the market in 1944, is preferred by some workers.
