Metrizamide is a non-ionic, water-soluble radiographic contrast agent formerly used mainly for myelography and cisternography to visualize the spinal cord, nerve roots, and subarachnoid space. It is no longer widely used due to reports of adverse neurological effects and has largely been replaced by safer agents.
