One of the commonest dyes used for CT scans, given into a vein, by mouth or in other ways depending on the scan.
GE Healthcare's Omnipaque (NDA 018956, first approved 26 December 1985) "is a radiographic contrast agent indicated for intrathecal, intra-arterial, intravenous, oral, rectal, intraarticular, and body cavity imaging procedures in adults and pediatric patients"; intravenous indications include "CT of the head and body". Its boxed warning concerns using only the iodine concentrations recommended for intrathecal procedures. ATC V08AB02.
A non-ionic, low-osmolar iodinated molecule; iodine absorbs X-rays strongly, so blood vessels, organs and enhancing tumours appear bright on CT and X-ray.
