01
Overview
A "diagnostic imaging enhancer" refers broadly to any agent (chemical/molecular) or technique that increases the visibility of anatomical structures during medical imaging procedures through physical interaction with energy sources (X-rays/sound/magnetic fields) or via computational post-processing methods.

02
Mechanism of action
Varies depending on the specific agent/technique. Contrast agents alter X-ray absorption or magnetic properties of tissues. Ultrasound enhancing agents increase sound wave reflection. Image processing algorithms manipulate pixel values.
