Abstract
Model cholangiographic experiments were performed in which the relationship between contrast medium concentration, duct diameter, calculus size and tube potential was analysed. The same degree of diagnostic reliability was obtained by increasing the tube potential as by diluting the contrast medium. A tube potential of 100 to 110 kV and a contrast medium concentration of 45 per cent were found to give the best result if the background density of the film was held constant.Keywords
