About this product
Overview
ULTRAVIST 370MG 100ML is a contrast agent used in diagnostic imaging procedures to enhance the visibility of blood vessels, organs, and tissues during radiographic examinations. It contains the active ingredient iopromide, which is a non-ionic, water-soluble contrast medium. ULTRAVIST 370MG 100ML is commonly administered intravenously and facilitates the visualization of various anatomical structures in the body.
Active Ingredient
Iopromide: Iopromide is a radiocontrast agent that absorbs X-rays, enhancing the contrast between blood vessels, organs, and surrounding tissues during diagnostic imaging procedures. It is well-tolerated and widely used in medical imaging for its efficacy and safety profile.
Mechanism of Action
Iopromide functions by selectively absorbing X-rays, thereby increasing the radiographic contrast between blood vessels, organs, and adjacent tissues. This results in improved visualization of anatomical structures, aiding healthcare providers in the diagnosis and assessment of medical conditions.
Uses
ULTRAVIST 370MG 100ML is indicated for various diagnostic imaging procedures, including:
- Computed tomography (CT) scans: To visualize blood vessels, organs, and tissues for the detection and evaluation of abnormalities such as tumors, infections, and vascular diseases.
- Angiography: For imaging blood vessels and assessing blood flow in different parts of the body, assisting in the diagnosis of arterial or venous diseases.
- Urography: To visualize the urinary tract, including the kidneys, ureters, and bladder, for diagnosing conditions such as kidney stones, tumors, or urinary obstructions.
