Indications & Clinical Uses

Omnipaque 350mg/50ml is a radiographic contrast agent used to enhance the visibility of internal structures in various imaging studies.

  • Computed Tomography (CT): Enhances contrast in CT scans for better visualization of internal structures.
  • Angiography: Improves the visibility of blood vessels during angiographic procedures.
  • Urography: Aids in the visualization of the urinary tract.
  • Myelography: Enhances the imaging of the spinal cord and spinal canal.

How It Works

  • Omnipaque 350mg/50ml works by providing X-ray attenuation through the delivery of iodine atoms. These iodine atoms absorb X-rays, enhancing the contrast in imaging studies, which allows for better visualization of internal structures. The nonionic nature of iohexol reduces the risk of adverse reactions compared to ionic contrast media.
