X-ray Contrast

Contrast radiography is a diagnostic method that uses radiopaque agents to improve visualization of internal organs and tissues. This method is widely used in medicine to study various organs and systems of the body, such as the stomach, intestines, bladder, lungs, heart, etc.

Contrast radiography is based on the property of radiopaque substances, which have the ability to absorb X-rays and change their intensity as they pass through body tissues. This allows you to more accurately determine the shape, size and structure of the organs and tissues being studied, as well as identify various pathologies and anomalies.

One of the most common X-ray contrast agents is barium, which is used to examine the gastrointestinal and urinary tract. Other agents are also used, such as iodinated contrast agents, which are used to study the lungs, heart and blood vessels.

The use of contrast radiography can significantly improve the quality of diagnosis and increase the effectiveness of treatment. However, like any other diagnostic method, contrast radiography has its limitations and contraindications, so before performing it it is necessary to conduct a thorough examination of the patient and make sure there are no contraindications.
