X-ray Attenuation via Iodine Atoms
- Molecular classification
- Chemical element, Contrast agent component
01
Overview
X-ray attenuation via iodine atoms refers to the use of iodine’s high atomic number (Z = 53) and its specific K-edge energy (33.2 keV) to enhance the absorption of x-rays in medical imaging, particularly in computed tomography (CT) and fluoroscopy. Iodine is commonly incorporated into contrast agents because it provides strong photoelectric absorption at energies used in diagnostic radiology, thereby increasing image contrast between tissues.
