''In 2009, the U.S. market for magnetic resonance (MRI), computed tomography (CT) and nuclear medicine was valued at over $5.1 billion. This market also includes contrast agents and injectors. The market declined in 2009 due to the deficit reduction act, ...'

''In 2009, the U.S. market for X-ray, mammography and contrast agents was valued at over $5 billion. The medical imaging equipment market includes X-rays, mammography as well as contrast agents and injectors. The market declined in 2009 due to the deficit ...'

''A new form of computed tomography (CT) scan made exclusively for detecting breast cancer identifies cases missed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), according to research presented at the 96th Annual Meeting of the Radiological Society of North America ...'

''A drug used to protect the kidneys from contrast dye during X-rays of the heart's blood vessels does not work, researchers said on Tuesday, citing a large study that may change the way patients are treated. The widely available generic drug, ...'

''X-ray tomography is a workhorse tool for nondestructive imaging. It is used to probe 3D structures (across a wide range of length scales) of objects that offer good absorption contrast to x-rays. In recent years, extremely-high-resolution imaging (on ...'

''Traditional X-ray images can clearly distinguish between bones and soft tissue, with muscles, cartilage, tendons and soft-tissue tumours all look virtually identical. The phase-contrast technique developed a few years ago at the Paul Scherrer Institute ...'

''People undergoing X-rays often require an intravenous contrast injection to improve the quality of the information obtained. Some of these patients will develop acute kidney injury as a result, and may require dialysis or hospitalisation. New research ...'

''(Boston) In its quest to find new strategies to treat osteoarthritis and other diseases, a Boston University-led research team has reported finding a new computer tomography contrast agent for visualizing the special distributions of ...'

''Cross-use of technology between nuclear medicine and radiology technologists is expanding. The growth of PET/CT and the increasing use of intravenous contrast agents during these procedures bring the nuclear medicine technologist into direct contact ...'

''Radiocontrast agents (also simply contrast agents or contrast materials) are compounds used to improve the visibility of internal bodily structures in an X-ray image. Contrast agents are also used in MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging). Although MRI is ...'
