Popis: FOLLOWING the experimental introduction of campiodol (Frazier and Glaser, 1; Glaser, 2), it immediately became apparent that an iodized oil most efficient for the visualization of the various body cavities should have physical properties adaptable for each individual cavity. This led to the synthesis of dilution products as well as an emulsion. Undiluted campiodol is best used to outline the tracheobronchial tree. The dilution of campiodol with ethyl olive oil resulted in a free-flowing, less viscous compound, which still retained sufficient opacity for roentgenographic visualization. Equal parts of campiodol and ethyl olive oil were ideal for the visualization of the nasal sinuses; whereas a 4-to-1 dilution was invaluable for the outline of the subarachnoid space, the blood vessels, fistulae, uterus, and salpinx. In order to visualize the genitourinary tract, an emulsion of campiodol proved the most satisfactory and has been utilized successfully in over 500 cases. The ability of certain oils to absorb io...
