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.
