Contrast Radiology

What does it consist on?

This technique is useful for evaluating the state and functioning of the different structures inside the human body. For this, a fluorescence screen with X-rays and contrast media, such as iodine and barium, are used. These are administered intravenously, or they are ingested or introduced as an enema, depending on each case, which makes it easier to visualize the organs and structures.
