Iohexol

Iohexol is a water-soluble iodinated contrast medium used primarily for enhancing the visibility of various body structures during diagnostic imaging procedures. It is commonly employed in computed tomography (CT) scans, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exams, and angiographic studies to delineate blood vessels and enhance the visualization of soft tissues. Iohexol is a non-ionic, low-osmolarity compound, which reduces the risk of adverse reactions and improves patient comfort compared to older, ionic contrast agents. It is available in different concentrations and volumes to suit various imaging procedures and patient needs. Iohexol is considered safe and effective for diagnostic use in appropriate clinical situations, but consider the potential risks and benefits of its administration on an individual basis.
