Contrast-enhanced imaging techniques
Contrast-enhanced imaging techniques involve injecting special dyes or agents into the body to improve the visibility of tissues, blood vessels, or organs during medical scans like MRI, CT, or ultrasound. These contrast agents enhance the details and differences between normal and abnormal areas, helping doctors detect issues such as tumors, blockages, or inflammation more accurately. The contrast is usually safe and temporary, allowing for clearer, more detailed imaging without additional discomfort to the patient.
