contrast agents in medical imaging
Contrast agents in medical imaging refer to substances or dyes used to enhance the visibility of certain tissues, organs, or blood vessels during diagnostic imaging procedures such as X-rays, CT scans, MRIs, or ultrasounds. They help to differentiate between normal and abnormal areas, providing better visualization and aiding in the detection or characterization of diseases or conditions.
