BACKGROUND The study was designed to investigate the safety and feasibility of gadopentetate dimeglumine, a gadolinium-based contrast medium, as an alternative angiographic contrast agent in patients with impaired renal function and high risk for iodinated contrast-induced nephropathy. METHODS Gadopentetate dimeglumine was used as the radiographic contrast agent in 32 diagnostic or interventi...

Large unilamellar phospholipid vesicles were prepared and loaded with various radiographic contrast media. Body CT following in vivo administration of these vesicles in the rat demonstrated opacification of organs associated with the reticuloendothelial system. Image enhancement in the spleen and liver was dose dependent and was linearly related within the dose range investigated. Contrast enha...

the aim of this study is to compare the sensitometric properties of commonly used radiographic films processed with chemical solutions in different workload hospitals. the effect of different processing conditions on induced densities on radiologic films was investigated. two accessible double emulsions fuji and kodak films were exposed with 11-step wedge and processed with champion and cpac pr...

This paper presents some image processing techniques that can be used for radiographic image enhancement. Contrast enhancement, filtering, denoising, and interpolation processes are carried out in this paper. Contrast enhancement is carried out using adaptive histogram equalization. Filtering is carried out using median, Wiener, Lee, and Kuan filters. Wavelet and curvelet transforms are used fo...
