General Information On Omnipaque

Omnipaque is a contrast agent used in medical imaging and is administrated intrathecally in adults for cervical, thoracic, lumbar, or total columnar myelography or for computerized tomography including cisternography and ventriculography. It is also used in arteriography, arthography, nephroangiography, and radiography procedures. The generic name of the drug is iohexol, and when it is administered in the subarachnoid space through the intrathecal route, it gets diffused in the cerebrospinal fluid, thus providing a visualization of the head, spinal cord, and other vessels. Omnipaque is to be administered intravenously through an injection, and this must be done only by a healthcare professional.
