Bracco Diagnostics Inc., a US subsidiary of Bracco Imaging S.p.A., one of the world's leading companies in the diagnostic imaging business, announced that the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted import discretion of Iomeron (iomeprol injection) into the US to address the ongoing iodinated contrast media shortage. Iomeron (iomeprol injection) is a nonionic iodinated contrast medium for intravascular use in adults in various imaging procedures.

Jeff Fleming, chief executive officer, Bracco Diagnostics Inc., said, "Throughout its 95-year history, Bracco has always put people and innovation at the core of its business, and focused ongoing attention on patient health, safety, and quality of care. We are proud that the company has worked proactively with the FDA to address the shortage of iodinated contrast agents in the US market."
