Image for Iopamidol

Iopamidol

Iopamidol is a type of contrast dye used in medical imaging procedures like MRI or CT scans. It helps highlight blood vessels, organs, or tissues, making them easier to see clearly on the images. Iopamidol is injected into the body and then absorbs quickly, improving the contrast of the images without causing significant discomfort. It is generally safe, but rare side effects can include allergic reactions or sensations of warmth or flushing. Healthcare providers carefully evaluate its use to ensure safety based on individual health conditions.
