MemberDefinitionClass
amidotrizoic acid dihydrateThe dihydrate form of amidotrizoic acid. Both the dihydrate and the anhydrous form are used as X-ray contrast media.amidotrizoic acid dihydrate
barium sulfateA metal sulfate with formula BaO4S. Virtually insoluble in water at room temperature, it is mostly used as a component in oil well drilling fluid it occurs naturally as the mineral barite.barium sulfate
diatrizoate meglumineThe N-methylglucamine salt of amidotrizoic acid. Both the sodium and the meglumine salts of amidotrizoic acid have been widely used as water-soluble radioopaque media in diagnostic radiography. The use of a mixture of the two salts is often preferred, as adverse effects can be reduced.meglumine amidotrizoate
diatrizoic acidA member of the class of benzoic acids that is benzoic acid having iodo substituents at the 2-, 4- and 6-positions and acetamido substituents at the 3- and 5-positions. It is used, mainly as its N-methylglucamine and sodium salts, as an X-ray contrast medium in gastrointestinal studies, angiography, and urography.amidotrizoic acid
