OMNIPAQUE 9 (iohexol) is an oral radiographic contrast agent used to enhance X-ray imaging by providing visual contrast in diagnostic procedures. It works through X-ray contrast activity, enabling radiologists to visualize internal anatomical structures more clearly. This nonionic, low-osmolality contrast medium has been a standard diagnostic tool since its approval in 1985.
