Iodipamide is a contrast agent used in cholangiography and cholecystography. A type of dye used in medical imaging to help healthcare providers see certain organs in the body.
- Mechanism
- Curator reviewed
Organic iodine compounds block x-rays as they pass through the body, thereby allowing body structures containing iodine to be delineated in contrast to those structures that do not contain iodine. The degree of opacity produced by these iodinated organic compounds is directly proportional to the total amount (concentration and volume) of the iodinated contrast agent in the path of the x-rays. Iodipamide's primary excretion through the hepato-biliary system and concentration in bile allows visualization of the gallbladder and biliary ducts.
