Radiopaques organic iodine compounds

Potential Radiopaques. A large number of organic iodine compounds synthesized in search of improved contrast agents are described in the patent literature limitation of space does not allow a full tabulation of these compounds. Because information concerning them may prove to be of value in the design and synthesis of new potential contrast agents, this chapter lists only the potential nonionic radiopaques, where the main current research effort is centered. Summaries of research on ionic contrast media may be found in early references (211,271). 

Many organic compounds containing normal iodine ( I) are used as radiopaques (X-ray contrast agents) in the radiography of the area where each is...
