Phase
4

An iodinated contrast medium used in various radiological imaging procedures to enhance the visibility of blood vessels and body cavities on X-rays and CT scans. It works because its iodine atoms strongly absorb X-ray radiation, creating bright white images of the structures it fills. Allergic reactions ranging from mild flushing to severe anaphylaxis are possible.
