ULTRAVIST 300 (iopromide)

X-Ray Contrast Activity
Other Approved 1995-05-10

Ultravist 300 is an iodinated contrast agent used to enhance the visibility of internal structures during diagnostic imaging procedures. It helps patients by making blood vessels, organs, and specific tissues clearer during CT scans, mammography, and various types of angiography. This agent is used in both adults and children aged two and older to assist in the evaluation of cardiac health, urinary function, and potential lesions throughout the body.

How ULTRAVIST 300 Works

This agent works by opacifying blood vessels, which allows for clearer radiographic visualization of internal structures by attenuating X-ray photons. Once injected, the substance typically moves from the blood vessels into the surrounding body tissues, though it remains contained within the vessels of the brain unless the blood-brain barrier has been damaged.
