Application
- Diagnostic Radiology: Used in CT angiography and urography for high-resolution vascular imaging.
- Nuclear Medicine: Serves as an adjunct in specific perfusion studies requiring low osmolality.
- Research: Utilized in preclinical pharmacokinetic modeling of iodinated compounds.
Precautions
Contraindicated in patients with severe hyperthyroidism or known hypersensitivity to iodine. Store in tightly sealed containers at controlled room temperature (15–25°C) protected from light to prevent degradation.
