[Possibilities of the use of a non-ionic tri-iodinated contrast medium (iohexol) in bronchography and alveolography].

The author tested the use of low doses of non-ionic contrast medium (iohexol) in the bronchial tree by Metras' catheterization technique during bronchography and alveolography. The contrast medium was well tolerated, swiftly cleared and able to yield satisfactory diagnostic information. No significant pathological reactions were observed.
