An x-ray (radiograph) is a noninvasive medical test that helps
physicians diagnose and treat medical conditions. Iodine is frequently
used as part of a contrast material used to view parts of the internal
body. Fluoroscopy is a special x-ray that makes it possible to see
internal organs in motion and uses iodine in the contrast material.
When iodine is injected into the joint space, it coats the inner
lining of the joint structures and appears bright white on an x-ray,
allowing the radiologist to assess the anatomy and function of the
joint.
Iodism is a frequent side effects of iodine given for radioprotection.
It is a mild toxic syndrome resulting from repeated administration of
small amount of iodine. Iodism is characterised by hyper-salivation,
coryza, sneezing, conjunctivitis, headache, laryngitis, bronchitis,
stomatitis, parotitis, enlargement of the submaxillary glands, skin
rashes and gastric upsets. In rare cases jaundice, bleeding from
mucous membranes and bronchospasm may occur. Inflammatory states may be aggravated by these adverse reactions.

Can we talk about the iodine that is on the periodic table?
ReplyDeleteSure! The iodine that we are talking about is the iodine from the periodic table. It is an element and occurs in compounds as I2, which is a diatomic molecule. Iodine has the atomic number of 53, which means that it has 53 protons in each atom. It is a violet colored gas at ordinary temperatures and pressures, but when it is in a solid state, is a shiny dark blue color.
