Hysterosalpingography: comparison of Conray 60 and Sinografin.

Conray 60 and Sinografin were compared as contrast agents for hysterosalpingography in 40 consecutive patients in a double-blind protocol. Emphasis was centered on the incidence and severity of symptoms during and after the procedure. Of patients receiving Conray, 36% suffered moderate or severe discomfort compared with 78% of the patients receiving Sinografin, and 13% of patients receiving Conray complained of moderate delayed discomfort compared with 28% of those receiving Sinografin. Both agents produced excellent diagnostic studies. Conray was clearly superior to Sinografin in terms of patient comfort.
