context_page_description: Iodinated contrast is a form of intravenous radiocontrast agent containing iodine, which enhances the visibility of vascular structures and organs during radiographic procedures. Some pathologies, such as cancer, have particularly improved visibility with iodinated contrast.
  The radiodensity of iodinated contrast is 25–30 Hounsfield units per milligram of iodine per milliliter at a tube voltage of 100–120 kVp.
