Abstract
Meglumine iothalmate 60% has a higher degree of safety than other similar compounds and a lower degree of pharmacologic toxicity. Greater density and better contrast is obtained than with other similar media. A slow injection rate ''5 to 10 minutes) is not necessary nor desirable. Sixty to 90 seconds is considered to be the optimum time for injection. Lack of sticking in the barrel of the syringe is a definite advantage over such a frequent occurrence with some of the media. It is more rapidly excreted than the other commonly used opaque media offering a shorter examination time. Diagnostic excretory urograms were obtained in 96% of the patients and very few side effects occurred in 1,200 patients of all ages.
