Talk:Lipiodol

Scope of this article
The content of Ethiodized oil previously was all about one brand name, Ethiodol. Content about both Ethiodol and Lipiodol belong together, either in Ethiodized oil or in Poppyseed oil, as both brands are ethiodized poppyseed oil. Ethiodized oil needs expansion, to include other ethiodized oils. --Una Smith (talk) 20:17, 5 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Thank you for the background information. Can you give me some examples of other ethiodized oils (so that I can do some expanding)? What are your thoughts, merge to poppseed oil or keep this article? I lean towards keeping this article (due to its specific clinical use) but giving it a mention in the main poppyseed oil article. I can be swayed though and don't have strong feelings. :)-- Literature geek |  T@1k?  20:33, 5 December 2009 (UTC)


 * I had intended to merge all into Poppyseed oil, until I realized oils other than poppyseed are used. However, use of other oils seems to be limited to oral supplements to treat iodine deficiency;  they are mentioned and cited in Poppyseed oil.  Non-ethiodized poppyseed oil itself has a number of pharmaceutical and medical uses.  Literaturegeek, do you have access to Science Citation Index or similar?  --Una Smith (talk) 21:01, 5 December 2009 (UTC)


 * I redirected to lipiodol because a search on pubmed brings back many many times more results than ethiodized oil. If you disagree with the redirect let me know. I do not have access to science citation index or similar. If I am really stuck for a paper I can obtain it from local hospital library. I used to have access to the BMJ and could probably get access again, although this topic is likely too specialised for the BMJ. This topic is out of my relm of knowledge, I am just trying to help out because I saw that you needed urgent assistance, per the DYK coming up. :)-- Literature geek |  T@1k?  21:27, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

Lipiodol → ethiodized_oil – should be listed under the generic name with the brand name Lipiodol redirecting there (see https://www.drugs.com/pro/lipiodol.html for generic name) Fantumphool (talk) 04:46, 11 January 2017 (UTC) --Relisting.

 * Comment: More to this than meets the eye. It seems more encyclopedic to use the generic name, but the brand name seems the more commonly used, similar in some ways to Aspirin, see aspirin. In Australia at least, this is a very common situation with regard to generically available drugs. Andrewa (talk) 19:37, 28 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Sources weighing on...
 * "ethiodized oil": Angiography, book about renal cancer, book about endovascular... stuff, dictionary of cosmetics ingredients,
 * "lipiodol": book about liver tumors
 * "ethiodol": book about diagnoses, this... book (which also discusses "lipiodol"),
 * This book differentiates "Lipiodol" and "Ethiodol". So does this one. One calls it "ethiodized poppy seed oil" and then "Ethiodol/Lipiodol". Researching the titles for this subject isn't as easy as I thought. However, because "Ethiodol" and "Lipiodol" are slightly different from each other despite sharing the same ingredient, I will... hold back my opinions for now until the article is improved somewhat. The article doesn't mention how different the two products are. I want to improve the article, but I am not much of a medical expert. George Ho (talk) 13:06, 5 February 2017 (UTC)

For what is worth, the different percentage in Ethiodol and Lipiodol is due to the different denominator used. They actually describe the same iodine content, see 10.1016/j.jvir.2010.10.030. --Artoria2e5 🌉 04:17, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
