iodine contrast

Iodine contrast is a special dye used in medical imaging, such as CT scans or X-rays, to make certain structures more visible. It contains iodine, which is highly visible under imaging technology because it absorbs X-rays effectively. When injected into the body, the contrast highlights blood vessels, organs, or tissues, helping doctors better see and diagnose issues like blockages, tumors, or infections. Iodine contrast is generally safe but may cause reactions in some people, especially those with allergies or kidney problems. It provides clearer, more detailed images for accurate medical assessment.
