China’s Covid-19 pandemic lockdowns have led to a shortage of a dye widely used
in medical scans, prompting U.S. hospitals including the Mayo Clinic to ration
supplies, postpone procedures or switch to less optimal imaging.

The shortage arose in recent weeks for iodinated contrast media products
including Omnipaque, made by General Electric Co. ’s GE Healthcare unit at a
plant in Shanghai. Omnipaque is given by intravenous injection to patients
before imaging procedures to make internal organs, blood and vessels more
visible in procedures such as CT scans.
