Abstract:
The appearance of side effects was monitored in 70 selected patients who underwent radiculography and myelography. After the examination, a rapid return to normal activity was recommended. In accordance with literature, no greater incidence of side effects was found in patients who were allowed to get up soon after myelography or radiculography, than in patients confined to bed for some hours. These results are essentially attributable to the low toxicity of the contrast medium used in this study (Iopamidol), and to an adequate hydratation of the patients after examination.
