Abstract
The efficacy of meglumine iocarmate (Dimeray, Dimer-X) as a myelographic agent was evaluated by comparing myelographic findings in 67 patients with data obtained from discography in 62 patients and from surgery in 5. Myelography demonstrated the presence of defects at the same level at which they were found with discography in 57 of the 62, and with surgery in all 5 cases. Meglumine iocarmate (Dimeray, Dimer-X) is considered to be a relatively safe contrast material with gives improved radiographic definition in the lumbosacral spinal canal when compared with iodophenylundelic acid (Pantopaque).Keywords
