Description

The article reports on experiences collected with intrathecal contrast amplification in computerized tomographie, using the nonionic contrast media metrizamideand iopamidol in a total of 80 examinations. The side effects are caused by the examination technique - which is discussed in detail -, the pathophysiology of CSF dynamics of the contrast media, but such side effects can be kept low if the relevant principles are observed. This makes the method both feasible and valuable. (orig./MG)

Abstract (German)

Es wird ueber die Erfahrung mit der intrathekalen Kontrastverstaerkung in der Computertomographie mit den nicht-ionischen Kontrastmitteln Metrazimide und Iopamidol anhand von 180 Untersuchungen berichtet. Die ausfuehrlich besprochene Untersuchungstechnik, Pathophysiologie der Liquordynamik und Pharmakodynamik der Kontrastmittel sind Ursache der Nebenerscheinungen, die unter beachtung entsprechender Grundsaetze niedrig gehalten werden koennen. Damit ist die Methode vertretbar und wertvoll. (orig./MG)
