Used as a contrast agent in diagnostic imaging procedures such as angiography, cardiac catheterization, and urography. Its iodine content enhances X-ray imaging by improving the visibility of blood vessels, organs, and tissues. Due to its ionic nature and lower osmolality compared to older contrast agents, it is associated with reduced risk of adverse reactions, making it suitable for patients with compromised renal function or cardiovascular conditions. Commonly administered intravenously or intra-arterially depending on the target area.
