Iodocholesterol

Iodocholesterol, or 19-iodocholesterol, also as iodocholesterol (¹³¹I) (INN), is a derivative of cholesterol with an iodine atom in the C19 position and a radiopharmaceutical.[1][2] When the iodine atom is a radioactive isotope (iodine-125 or iodine-131), it is used as an adrenal cortex radiocontrast agent in the diagnosis of patients suspected of having Cushing's syndrome, hyperaldosteronism, pheochromocytoma, and adrenal remnants following total adrenalectomy.[1][2]
