The Future Efficacy of Diagnostic Imaging Depends on a Non-renewable Resource – Iodine

October 27, 2021

Brought to you by GE Healthcare The discovery of iodine as a radio-contrast agent was accidental. In the early 1920s, when iodine-containing compounds were used to treat syphilis, Osborne et al. observed that the urine of patients treated with iodine was radiopaque; they went on to perform the first successful clinical pyelogram in 1923 at the Mayo Clinic. From this point on, iodinated contrast was used in increasing imaging applications. Today, iodinated contrast media is used in over 100 million procedures annually. Read More
