[Method of colpo-urethrocystography. Part III: Pros and contras on use of barium-sulphate suspensions in cystography for diagnosis of urinary incontinence (author's transl)].

There have been various reports in the literature on the use of barium-sulphate suspensions in cystography for radiological diagnosis of urinary incontinence in women. The advantages of barium-sulphate are compared with risks of its use in this paper. Equally good results without risk can be achieved by means of water-soluble iodic contrast media. The authors, being aware of the higher expenses involved in their proposal, recommend to use for cystography only water-soluble iodic contrast media.
