Medical Conditions - Contrast Enhanced Computed Tomography

Contrast-enhanced computed tomography uses iodine-based radiocontrast agents and helps delineate structures like blood vessels, which usually cannot be distinguished from their adjacent structures. Furthermore, it is also used to gather functional reports about the organ or tissues. However, iodinated contrast substances may cause allergies, contrast-induced nephropathy, hyperthyroidism, and accumulation of Metformin.
