3-Hydroxy-2,4,6-triiodobenzoic acid CAS:53279-72-4

3-Hydroxy-2,4,6-triiodobenzoic acid is an organic compound with a chemical formula C7H3I3O3. It is a derivative of benzoic acid containing three iodine atoms and a hydroxyl group. The compound is solid and white in appearance. This acid is mainly used in the field of medical imaging as a contrast agent in X-ray and computed tomography (CT) scans. Its high iodine content makes it highly effective in enhancing the visibility of certain organs, blood vessels, and tissues during imaging procedures. By absorbing X-rays, it creates a contrast with surrounding structures, which helps in the diagnosis of various medical conditions.
