Contrast Induced Nephropathy (CIN) is a well-documented concern in CT. Factors leading to CIN are high viscosity, high osmolality, low hydrophilicity. Optiray has low viscosity, low osmolality and high hydrophilicity meaning that it will have greater difficulty crossing the cell membrane to cause neural toxicity. It is a balanced molecule structure1,2.
