Acetrizoate Sodium
A water-soluble iodine-based contrast agent that was historically used in X-ray imaging procedures to visualize body cavities, blood vessels, and the urinary tract by absorbing X-rays and creating visible contrast. It has been replaced in most applications by safer, lower-osmolality contrast media that cause fewer adverse reactions. Its use in modern radiology is largely historical.
