Contrast Media

Contrast materials also known as contrast agents or contrast media are used to improve the quality of images produced by x-rays, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasound. These substances temporarily change the way X-Rays or other imaging tools interact with the body. Contrast materials help distinguish the selected areas of the body from the surrounding tissues. With this improvisation in the visibility, a better diagnosis can be carried out.
