Used during various diagnostic imaging procedures including angiography, intravenous pyelography, computed tomography, and arthrography to outline and enhance visualization of blood vessels, urinary tract, and other body structures.
Contains organically bound iodine which absorbs X-rays, creating contrast between structures that would otherwise appear similar on radiographic images. This allows clearer delineation of vessels, organs, and cavities during imaging.
Patients should be assessed for allergies to iodinated contrast agents. Adequate hydration is recommended before and after administration. May cause adverse reactions including nausea, warmth sensation, or rarely severe allergic reactions. Use with caution in patients with impaired kidney function, thyroid disorders, or those taking certain medications.
