General Description

Lipiodol, also known as ethiodized oil, is a type of contrast agent used in medical imaging procedures such as X-rays and CT scans. It is a radiopaque substance that contains iodine and is typically administered into the bloodstream or directly into certain body cavities to enhance the visibility of specific organs and tissues. Lipiodol is commonly used for liver imaging, lymphangiography, and hysterosalpingography. It has a low incidence of adverse reactions and is generally well-tolerated by patients. However, precautions should be taken in individuals with thyroid disorders, iodine allergies, and certain medical conditions. Lipiodol has been used for nearly a century and continues to be a valuable tool in diagnostic imaging.
