Diagnostic Agents
Indication Dosage
Lohexol and iodine are used as contrast agents for imaging procedures such as CT scans and angiograms. Here are some indications for their use:
- CT Scans: Lohexol and iodine can be used to enhance the visibility of blood vessels, organs, and tissues during CT scans. This can help to diagnose various medical conditions such as tumors, infections, and injuries.
- Angiography: Lohexol and iodine can be used for angiography, a procedure that allows doctors to visualize blood vessels in various parts of the body. Angiography can help to diagnose conditions such as aneurysms, stenosis, and blockages in blood vessels.
- Interventional Radiology: Lohexol and iodine can be used for interventional radiology procedures such as embolization, where they help to guide the placement of tiny particles or coils into blood vessels to block off blood flow to a tumor or other abnormal growth.
- Myelography: Lohexol and iodine can also be used for myelography, a diagnostic procedure where contrast agents are injected into the spinal canal to visualize the spinal cord and nerve roots.
