“…the development of Omnipaque set the gold standard for non-ionic imaging agents”³

Used since 1982 in everyday examinations or pioneering procedure, Omnipaque has been used extensively in over 100 countries, more than over 690 million procedures,² examined in over 40 doctoral theses and 6,500 clinical studies, and subject to large safety surveillance studies on different continents.

The quality you want from contrast enhancement

Omnipaque has been unsurpassed by any low-osmolar contrast media (LOCM) for either diagnostic efficacy or tolerability at equi-attenuating doses in head-to-head trials^4-18

Examples of clinical comparisons of other LOCM with Omnipaque

Comparator	Procedure	Superior efficacy to Omnipaque at equi- attenuating doses*
iopamidol	myelography (n=363)⁴ paediatric cardiac angiography (n=62)⁵	NO NO
iomeprol	intravenous urography (n=60)⁶ myelography (n=83)⁷	NO NO
iopromide	aortography + visceral angiography (n=125)⁸ excretory urography (n=200)⁹	NO NO
iobitridol	CT of the head (n=276)¹⁰ hepatic CT (n=146)¹¹	NO NO
ioversol	intravenous urography (n=80)¹² peripheral + visceral arteriography (n=60)¹³	NO NO
ioxaglate	lower limb phlebography (n=120)¹⁴ angiography (n=80)¹⁵	NO NO

*e.g. opacification, image quality, ability to make a diagnosis
