Double contrast arthrography of the knee . Comparison between three contrast media . Meglumine iothalamate ( Conray Meglumin ) , sodium-calcium-meglumine metrizoate ( Isopaque Cerebral ) and dimeglumine iocarmate ( Dimerex ) , each containing about 280 mg I/ml , were compared in two series of double contrast knee arthrography , 190 and 184 patients each . With Dimerex the mixing of the contrast medium with the synovial fluid was slower than with Conray Meglumin , and a good or fair image quality , as evaluated subjectively , lasted longer . No difference was observed between Isopaque Cerebral and Conray Meglumin , regardless of dosage .
