contrast agents in magnetic resonance imaging (mri)
Contrast agents in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are substances or compounds that are used to enhance the visibility or contrast between different tissues or structures within the body during an MRI scan. These agents help to highlight specific areas of interest, such as blood vessels, tumors, or areas of inflammation, and provide more detailed and precise images for diagnosis and medical evaluations.
