Isomolar Contrast Medium FDA Approved for Children Over One Year


GE Healthcare’s’ VISIPAQUE has an osmolality equal to that of blood, and is also the only contrast medium formulated with sodium and calcium in a ratio equivalent to blood, according to GE.

The system is FDA approved for use in children over one year of age and is approved for a broad range of diagnostic procedures requiring intravascular contrast, such as coronary angiography, CT, IVP and venography.

During the blood pool phase, it significantly shortens the T1 and T2 relaxation times of the blood, thus achieving bright blood effects in T1-weighted imaging and dark blood effects in T2/T2*-weighted imaging. In the delay phase, by the local aggregation of ferumoxytol disrupting the uniformity of the local magnetic field, the decrease of the transverse magnetization vector Mxy is expedited, resulting in a negative contrast effect.
