  2. Radiocontrast agent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiocontrast_agent

    Iodinated contrast contains iodine.It is the main type of radiocontrast used for intravenous administration.Iodine has a particular advantage as a contrast agent for radiography because its innermost electron ("k-shell") binding energy is 33.2 keV, similar to the average energy of x-rays used in diagnostic radiography.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iodinated_contrast

    Many of the side effects are due to the hyperosmolar solution being injected. i.e. they deliver more iodine atoms per molecule. The more iodine, the more "dense" the X-ray effect. [citation needed] Organic iodine molecules used for contrast include iohexol, iodixanol, and ioversol. Iodine-based contrast media used nowadays are water-soluble.

  4. Barium sulfate suspension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barium_sulfate_suspension

    Barium sulfate suspension, often simply called barium, is a contrast agent used during X-rays. [1] Specifically it is used to improve visualization of the gastrointestinal tract (esophagus, stomach, intestines) on plain X-ray or computed tomography. [2] It is taken by mouth or used rectally. [3]

  5. Iohexol - Wikipedia

    Iohexol, sold under the trade name Omnipaque among others, is a contrast agent used for X-ray imaging. [4] This includes when visualizing arteries, veins, ventricles of the brain, the urinary system, and joints, as well as during computed tomography (CT scan). [4] It is given by mouth, injection into a vein, or into a body cavity. [5]

  6. Contrast agent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contrast_agent

    A contrast agent (or contrast medium) is a substance used to increase the contrast of structures or fluids within the body in medical imaging. [1] Contrast agents absorb or alter external electromagnetism or ultrasound, which is different from radiopharmaceuticals, which emit radiation themselves.
