The present invention provides a novel approach for imaging procedures that utilizes contrast materials, such as hysterosalpingography in infertile women, X-ray imaging, cardiac- and limbs-catheterization. Specifically, the present invention provides a multidisciplinary and multipotent intralipid-iodine compounds and compositions for use in imaging that utilizes contrast materials.

In certain embodiments of the intravenous composition according to the embodiments above, the intralipid-iodine absorbs / attaches obstructive or potentially-obstructive particles located within blood vessels and/or other organs in the body, and removes same to thereby open clogged blood vessels.
