How Diatrizoic Acid works

Diatrizoic Acid works by absorbing X-rays more effectively than the surrounding body tissues. It coats the gastrointestinal (digestive) tract and creates a clear contrast between the digestive organs and surrounding tissues. This helps the stomach, intestines, and other parts of the digestive tract appear more clearly during X-ray or other imaging procedures.
