Contrast media is a substance that is introduced into or around a structure or
tissues to produce the visualization of organs and certain tissues under the
absorption of x-rays. In diagnostic radiology the purpose is to detect and to
treat certain diseases. Nonionizing radiations of infrared, gamma rays,
ultrasound waves, and magnetic fields are also used for diagnosis. MRI contrast
agents work by altering the magnetic properties of hydrogen nucleus not by
radioopaque. Barium sulfate class contrast agents are used in the digestive
tract. Organic iodine contrast agents are water soluble and less harmful to the
body, and thus can be used almost anywhere in the body.

is a non-ionic, water-soluble, low-osmolality contrast
enhancer in computed tomography. It is used in
