The contrast-material Biliscopin was clinically studied in 101 patients. No side-effects were observed when the injection time was stretched over a 5 min period. The visible heterotopic excretion which correlates with the iodine concentration was low in the case of Biliscopin. Optimal visualisation of the biliary tract was obtained 60--90 min after injection. The remarkably long visualisation of the biliary tract allows tomography beyond 90 min after injection; this is seen as an advantage for X-ray departments with limited tomographic facilities.
