V08 CONTRAST MEDIA<br />

This group comprises X-ray, MRI <strong>and</strong> Ultrasound contrast media. The<br />

X-ray contrast media are subdivided into iodinated <strong>and</strong> non-iodinated<br />

compounds, <strong>and</strong> are further classified according to water solubility,<br />

osmolarity <strong>and</strong> nephrotropic/hepatotropic properties. High osmolar<br />

substances correspond mainly to ionic substances, except from ioxaglic<br />

acid, which is classified together with the non-ionic substances. MRI<br />

contrast media are subdivided according to magnetic properties.<br />

V08A X-RAY CONTRAST MEDIA, IODINATED<br />

V08AA Watersoluble, nephrotropic, high osmolar X-ray contrast media<br />

V08AB Watersoluble, nephrotropic, low osmolar X-ray contrast media<br />

V08AC Watersoluble, hepatotropic X-ray contrast media<br />

V08AD Non-watersoluble X-ray contrast media<br />
