- Imaging agent, Contrast agent
01
Overview
Tomography enhancers are substances designed to improve the quality and diagnostic value of tomographic imaging (CT, MRI, or ultrasound). They are most often called contrast agents, and their primary function is to increase the contrast between different tissues or structures within the body, making abnormalities such as tumors, lesions, or vascular structures more visible and distinguishable on images. Tomography enhancers do not refer to a single molecular target but rather a class of substances designed specifically for improving medical image quality across various modalities by enhancing tissue contrast.
