contrast examination

0.01 sec.

contrast examination,

the use of radiopaque materials to make internal organs visible on x-ray film. Because of their high atomic numbers, substances such as iodine and barium have an x-ray photoelectrical interaction that is nearly 400 times that of soft tissue. As a result, internal organs or cavities outlined by such substances are more visible.
