A Water-Soluble Contrast Medium for Bronchography

Report on Clinical Use

ROBERT J. ATWELL M.D.1 and ROBERT L. PEDERSEN M.D.2

1 Chief of Medical Service, Ohio State Tuberculosis Hospital, Columbus, Ohio, and Assistant Professor of Medicine, Ohio State University College of Medicine, Columbus, Ohio., The Department of Medicine, Duke University School of Medicine and Duke Hospital.
2 The Department of Radiology, Duke University School of Medicine and Duke Hospital.

In our experience Viscous Umbradil, a viscous, water-soluble, radiopaque medium, has many advantages over iodized oil in bronchography. We feel that the advantages far out-weigh the disadvantages. Bronchograms with this medium are diagnostic and there is complete absorption of the radiopaque material in three to five hours without any clinically demonstrable deleterious effect on the lungs. Certainly Viscous Umbradil deserves extensive trial and further evaluation.
