SPECIAL CONTRASTED STUDIES
A contrast study refers to the use of contrast media so that the radiologist can better visualize the tissues or organs to be examined.
Radiological contrast media, also called contrast agents or diagnostic aids, are chemical substances that are used to illuminate the study because, when introduced into the body, they produce changes in a radiographic image due to their ability to block or absorb radiation. ionizing This allows a better visualization of certain structures, organs and functional processes in the organism.
