contrast-enhanced imaging

Contrast-enhanced imaging is a medical imaging technique that uses a special dye, called contrast agent, to improve the visibility of internal body structures in scans like X-rays, CT scans, or MRIs. This dye highlights specific areas, such as blood vessels or tumors, making it easier for doctors to diagnose conditions. The contrast agent can be injected into a vein or swallowed, depending on the type of scan. By providing clearer images, contrast-enhanced imaging helps healthcare professionals make more accurate assessments of a patient's health.
