What is the difference between omnipaque and omniscan?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Omnipaque v omniscan: Sound similar and both from the same company, but actually two agents for different modalities. Omnipaque is an iodinated contrast agent used for CT imaging. Omniscan is a paramagnetic, gadolinium based contrast agent used for MRI and MRA.
