Physical Enhancement of X-ray Attenuation via Iodine Content
- Molecular classification
- Contrast Agent, Diagnostic Agent
01
Overview
The use of iodine to enhance X-ray attenuation in tissues or materials, primarily for medical imaging purposes. Iodinated contrast agents increase local X-ray absorption due to iodine's high atomic number and K-edge energy, improving the visibility of blood vessels, organs, and pathological structures on X-ray images. This enhancement is widely used in CT scans, angiography, and other radiographic techniques.
