Autoignition=Tyropanoic acid and its salt sodium tyropanoate are
radiopaque contrast media used incholecystography (X-ray diagnosis ofgallstone s). Trade names include Bilopaque, Lumopaque, Tyropaque, and Bilopac. [cite web|url=http://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/summary/summary.cgi?cid=5611|title=PubChem CID 5611] The molecule contains three heavyiodine atoms which obstruct X-rays in the same way as the calcium in bones to produce a visible image. After injection it is rapidly excreted into thebile . [PMID 7364937]References
