| Popis: | A series of abdominal radiographs were taken in eight normal volunteers after the ingestion of sodium tyropanoate (Bilopaque). These showed nonabsorbed sodium tyropanoate to have a granular appearance, while the conjugated form had a smooth homogeneous appearance. The appearance of conjugated sodium tyropanoate in the bowel has the same diagnostic significance as conjugated iopanoic acid in the presence of a nonvisualized gallbladder. It indicates that the contrast material has passed through the hepatic ductal system and that there has been an opportunity for the gallbladder to opacify. |
