Contrast Agents

Contrast Agents is a class of exogenous diagnostic substances used in biomedical imaging that, when introduced into a biological system, selectively modify local imaging-relevant physical properties (such as X‑ray attenuation, magnetic relaxivity, or optical absorption/fluorescence) to enhance the contrast between targeted tissues, structures, or physiological processes and surrounding background.
