CTiodine®
Solid material for X-ray imaging in exchange for iodinated contrast media in water or blood
OVERVIEW
- Solid material optimized for 70 - 150 kVp
- Used in CT and other X-ray imaging modalities
Enhanced contrast is a major issue in diagnostic imaging. CTiodine provides properties equivalent to iodinated contrast media as used for contrast enhancement during diagnostic X-ray procedures.
It is produced using a base resin with molecularly linked iodine. The concentration of liquid contrast media is given in mg iodine/cm³, which is identical to the solid contrast media based on CTwater (mg iodine/ccm), but comes with the big advantage that CTwater is a solid and easy-to-use material.
CTiodine is available based on CTwater, blood equivalent or standard resin. For CTiodine based on CTwater or blood equivalent resin the CT-numbers are valid for the whole range from 70 to 150 kVp.
