Usage

General Description

4-(4'-hydroxy-3'-iodophenoxy)-3,5-diiodo-benzoic acid, also known as iopanoic acid, is a contrast medium used in radiographic procedures to enhance the visibility of internal structures and organs in the body. It is a triiodinated benzoic acid derivative that specifically targets the liver and gallbladder, making it useful in imaging studies such as cholangiography and angiography. Iopanoic acid is administered orally or intravenously, and its iodine content allows it to absorb X-rays, leading to increased contrast in the resulting images.
