Renografin®-60 (diatrizoate meglumine and diatrizoate sodium) was used as a radiopaque contrast agent. Bracco Diagnostics, Inc. states that the production of Renografin-60 has been discontinued due to reduced demand.

In medical imaging, resolution is the ability to distinguish two adjacent objects and a measurement of image quality. The resolution of tomographic images is a function of slice thickness, field of view (FOV) and matrix size. The resolution in plane is a function of FOV / matrix size.
•
The resolution element has the size of the smallest spatially resolved region in an image. It may be anisotropic, e.g. with an asymmetric acquisition matrix or slice thickness, and may be larger than the pixel or voxel.
•
The resolution time or temporal resolution is the shortest time duration between two events that can be measured.

[Rest Mass Energy] The term refers to the concept of mass-energy equivalence. Einstein proposed that the equivalence of mass and energy is a general principle. E=mc2 E = energy, m = mass, c = the speed of light in a vacuum. c2 is the conversion factor required to convert from units of mass to units of energy. The rest energy of an electron or a positron for example amounts to 0.511 MeV. See also Photon, Photon Energy. Further Reading: Basics:
