Yousef W Nielsen, Manal Azzouz, Henrik Segelcke Thomsen

    Abstract

    Contrast media (CM) are commonly used in radiological procedures such as radiography, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to enhance the differences between structures or fluids within the body tissue. There are various types of CM, and their chemical and physical properties determine their specific application.
