contrast agents in computed tomography (ct) scans
Contrast agents in computed tomography (CT) scans refer to substances, administered either orally or intravenously, that enhance the visibility of certain tissues or blood vessels within the body. These agents help to distinguish between different structures or highlight specific abnormalities during CT imaging, improving the accuracy and diagnostic value of the scans.
