"Iodism" Natural Recordings by Native Speakers
Iodism is a condition caused by the excessive use of iodine, which can occur when an individual ingests large amounts of iodine or its compounds. Symptoms of iodism include swelling of the thyroid gland, increased salivation, neck rigidity, joint pain, and a metallic or iodine-like taste in the mouth.
To iodise means to treat with iodine, especially to prevent or cure the deficiency of iodine in the body, often by adding iodine to food or water. It can also mean to add iodine to a substance, such as to stabilize or preserve it.
Iodixanol is a non-ionic, low-osmolar, iodinated contrast agent used in medical imaging procedures, particularly in computed tomography (CT) scans. It is a solvent used to improve the visibility of internal organs and structures within the body during diagnostic imaging.
