Usage

Description

4-(4'-Hydroxy-3'-iodophenoxy)-3,5-diiodo-benzoic acid, also known as iopanoic acid, is a triiodinated benzoic acid derivative that functions as a contrast medium in radiographic procedures. It is specifically designed to target the liver and gallbladder, thereby enhancing the visibility of these internal structures and organs in the body. The presence of iodine in its molecular structure allows it to absorb X-rays effectively, which results in increased contrast in the images obtained from studies such as cholangiography and angiography.

Uses

Used in Medical Imaging:
4-(4'-Hydroxy-3'-iodophenoxy)-3,5-diiodo-benzoic acid is used as a contrast agent in medical imaging for the purpose of improving the visualization of the liver and gallbladder. Its administration, either orally or intravenously, allows for the examination of these organs through radiographic techniques, facilitating the diagnosis of various conditions and abnormalities.
Used in Cholangiography:
In the application industry of medical diagnostics, 4-(4'-Hydroxy-3'-iodophenoxy)-3,5-diiodo-benzoic acid is used as a contrast medium for cholangiography. This application is crucial for visualizing the bile ducts and diagnosing issues related to bile flow, such as blockages or inflammation.
Used in Angiography:
Similarly, in the field of vascular imaging, 4-(4'-Hydroxy-3'-iodophenoxy)-3,5-diiodo-benzoic acid is utilized as a contrast agent for angiography. This helps in the examination of blood vessels, particularly in identifying any irregularities, blockages, or aneurysms, which are vital for the assessment of cardiovascular health.
