Iotrolan（Cat NI029448） is a nonionic and isotonic contrast medium specifically formulated for intrathecal administration. It is used in medical imaging procedures, such as myelography and computed tomography (CT) scans, to enhance the visibility of the spinal cord and surrounding structures. As an intrathecal contrast agent, Iotrolan is injected into the cerebrospinal fluid space to provide improved visualization during diagnostic examinations. Its nonionic and isotonic properties help minimize the risk of adverse reactions and maintain the physiological balance of the fluid environment in the spinal canal.
