Radiation exposure from a CT scan is similar to, though higher than, that of a conventional x ray. Although this is a risk to pregnant women, the exposure to other adults is minimal and should produce no effects.

What is Xenetix?

Xenetix is a non-ionic, iodinated contrast agent primarily used in medical imaging, particularly for X-ray and computed tomography (CT) scans. It enhances the visibility of internal structures by absorbing X-rays, allowing for clearer images of organs and tissues. Xenetix is designed to minimize side effects and improve patient safety during diagnostic procedures.


Side effects of a scan?

The side effects of a medical scan depend on the type of imaging used. For example, X-rays and CT scans involve exposure to ionizing radiation, which carries a very small risk of cancer over time. MRI scans use strong magnetic fields and may cause discomfort for those with metal implants or claustrophobia. Ultrasounds are generally considered safe, with no known side effects, as they use sound waves rather than radiation.
