Abstract

Contrast agents are essential for effectiveness of medical imaging studies. They were initially utilized to better visualize vascular structures and the gastrointestinal tract. Over time they become one of the key components of medical imaging and their use extended to the evaluation of vascularization and perfusion of tissue in solid organs, specifically using cross-sectional imaging techniques and enhanced visualization and characterization of focal lesions within these organs. The use of contrast agents is indispensable in radiology, and it will remain as such in the foreseeable future.
