Abstract
Ipodate calcium can save the patient 1 day of hospitalization if the original cholecystogram shows a faintly visualized gallbladder shadow. The use of a supplementary dose of ipodate calcium has an 80 per cent chance to turn the examination into a diagnostic study the same day.If the original roentgenograms did not show any gallbladder shadow at all, then ipodate calcium has only a 13 per cent chance to convert the study into a diagnostic one on the same day.
