CONRAY 280 is a radiopaque contrast agent primarily used in diagnostic imaging procedures to enhance the visibility of bodily structures in X-ray-based imaging techniques such as computed tomography (CT) scans. It contains the active ingredient iothalamate meglumine, which is a type of iodinated contrast medium. This agent works by temporarily altering the way X-rays interact with the body, improving the contrast of the images obtained and helping healthcare professionals to more accurately diagnose conditions. CONRAY 280 is specifically formulated at a concentration of 280 milligrams of iodine per milliliter, offering a balance between image enhancement and patient safety. It is administered intravenously and is commonly used in examinations of the brain, spine, heart, and blood vessels, among other areas. As with all contrast agents, the use of CONRAY 280 comes with the risk of side effects, and it is contraindicated in patients with certain conditions, so patient history and allergies are carefully reviewed prior to its administration.
