Meglumine Iodamide
Meglumine Iodamide is an iodinated radiographic contrast medium used to enhance visibility of blood vessels, organs, and tissues during X-ray imaging procedures such as angiography, urography, and CT scans. The iodine content in the compound absorbs X-rays, creating contrast between different body structures. It is administered via intravascular injection and is typically reserved for diagnostic imaging purposes.
