Contrast Media

Contrast media, also called contrast agents, are used to enhance the blood and perfusion in tissues. This includes iodine based contrast for on computed tomography (CT), gadolinium based agents for MRI and lipid bubble contrast agents used in ultrasound.

According to the British Heart Foundation, heart and circulatory diseases cause more than a quarter (27 percent) of all deaths in the UK, which equates to more than 160,000 deaths each year — or one death every three minutes.
