[Use of iodamide 300 and iodamide 380 in galactography]

The authors analyze the results of iodamide use for galactography. 434 females with discharge from the nipples were examined making use of galactography, and 136 women were selected for surgical treatment; the local processes in the mamma were previously unpalpated, nor were they confirmed by the laboratory findings. Clinical and morphologic analysis of the preparations resected in surgery has lead the authors to a conclusion that galactograms made with use of iodamide are sufficiently contrast and informative. The authors recommend this agent for the diagnosis of unpalpated mammary tumors.
