ABSTRACT

Objective　To evaluate the effects of meglumine diatrizoate mucilage (MDC) used as contrast medium in bronchography. Methods A total of 500 patients undergoing bronchography were reviewed, including male 346, female 154, with an average age of 42 (ranged 5～71). Among them, 415 were examined with bilateral bronchography in a dose of 20～30 ml, 85 with unilateral bronchography in 10～15 ml of MDC. Results　In 487 cases (97.4%), the lobes, segments, subsegment bronchi were revealed very well, and 456 cases (91.2%) had no cough. Conclusion　MDC is regarded as an ideal bronchial contrast medium, and may replace dionosil and iodized oil.
