Iodipamide Meglumine

Iodipamide meglumine is used to determine patency of cystic duct and common bile duct. The most important characteristic of contrast media is the iodine content. The relatively high atomic weight of iodine contributes sufficient radiodensity for radiographic contrast of the uterus and uterine tubes with surrounding tissues.
