Effect of Propyliodone (DionosilR) Bronchograms on Blood Iodine and Radioiodine Uptake

1.Oily Dionosil is a safe and satisfactory agent for bronchography. Excellent visualization is secured usually.2.Oily Dionosil produces elevation of the serum PBI (usual initial range is 9 to 23 mcg./100 ml. serum), with return to the normal range of 3.8 to 8 mcg./l00 ml. serum in about six to eight weeks.3.PBI determinations which may be required after Dionosil bronchography are best postponed until eight weeks after bronchography.4.Radioiodine uptake determinations should be postponed until at least three weeks after Dionosil bronchography.
