NCIt synonyms : 5,5'-((2-Hydroxytrimethylene)bis(acetylimino))bis(N,N'-bis(2,3-dihydroxypropyl)-2,4,6-triiodoisophthalamide); Indixanol; 1,3-Benzenedicarboxamide, 5,5'-((2-hydroxy-1,3-propanediyl)bis(acetylimino))bis(N,N'-bis(2,3-dihydroxypropyl)-2,4,6-triiodo-;
NCIt definition : A dimeric iso-osmolar, non-ionic, hydrophilic iodinated radiocontrast agent used in
diagnostic imaging. Upon intravascular administration and during computed tomography
(CT) imaging, iodixanol blocks x-rays and appears opaque on x-ray images. This allows
body structures that absorb iodine to be visualized. The degree of opacity produced
by iodixanol is directly proportional to the total amount of the iodinated contrast
agent in the path of the x-rays. The visualization of body structures is dependent
upon the distribution and elimination of iodixanol. Compared to other iodinated contrast
agents, iodixanol appears to exhibit less nephrotoxicity.;
