## TL;DR

Guerbet is the French contrast-agent company behind Lipiodol, the iodised poppy-seed oil that radiologists use to deliver and image chemotherapy in liver tumours.

## Summary

Guerbet, founded in 1926 and based near Paris, makes contrast agents and delivery systems for diagnostic and interventional imaging. Lipiodol (ethiodized oil), its oldest product, is used in transarterial chemoembolisation of hepatocellular carcinoma, where it carries the chemotherapy emulsion into the tumour and remains visible on computed tomography. Guerbet also sells iodinated and gadolinium contrast media, injectors and artificial-intelligence tools for liver and prostate imaging.
