Use of low osmolar contrast for gastrointestinal studies in low-birth-weight infants
R. V. Dutton and E. B. Singleton
Metrizamide is a safe, water-soluble contrast medium suitable for bedside
gastrointestinal studies in low-birth-weight infants. We describe our
experience with 26 patients and 34 examinations. We present illustrative
cases and indicate the clinical applications. Similar results are
anticipated when less expensive nonionic contrast agents are approved by
the Food and Drug Administration for pediatric use.
