Overview
Iomeprol is a high-osmolar, non-ionic iodinated contrast agent synthesized via multi-step organic chemistry. Its molecular formula is C20H27I3N4O8 with CAS No. 66195-59-5. It serves as a critical radiopaque medium for diagnostic imaging procedures.
Application
- Radiology: Computed tomography (CT) angiography and organ perfusion studies.
- Nephrology: Intravenous urography to visualize renal function and urinary tract structures.
- Vascular Imaging: Contrast enhancement for detailed visualization of blood vessels during interventional procedures.
Precautions
Contraindicated in patients with severe hypersensitivity to iodine or contrast media. Strict storage at controlled room temperature is required to maintain chemical stability. Medical supervision is mandatory during administration due to risks of anaphylaxis and nephrotoxicity.
