    Iopamidol (Jopamiron 200), a non-ionic contrast medium, proved safe and effective for myelography in 185 patients. This water-soluble agent was highly satisfactory across lumbosacral, thoracic, and cervical spine imaging.

    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Non-ionic, water-soluble contrast media offer improved safety profiles.
    • Myelography requires effective contrast agents for spinal imaging.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the safety and diagnostic efficacy of iopamidol (Jopamiron 200) for myelography.
    • To assess the convenience and economy of using iopamidol in clinical practice.

    Main Methods:

    • A series of 185 patients underwent myelography using iopamidol (Jopamiron 200).
    • Doses administered ranged from 10-15 ml.
    • Imaging covered the lumbosacral, thoracic, and cervical regions.

    Main Results:

    • Iopamidol demonstrated high safety and diagnostic effectiveness.

  • The contrast medium was found to be convenient and economical.
  • Overall patient satisfaction with iopamidol for myelography was high.

    • Conclusions:

    • Iopamidol (Jopamiron 200) is a suitable contrast medium for various myelographic procedures.
    • Its properties make it a valuable option for spinal imaging, balancing safety, efficacy, and cost.
