This book documents the fascinating history of radiological techniques that use contrast agents. Such agents when used with Xrays allow clinicians to distinguish anatomical structures with nearly identical densities. Focus is on urological and angiographic uses of contrast agents.

Recenzje

"This book, written by the eminent chemist and former scientific adviser to Bracco, covers the history of x-ray contrast agents concentrating primarily on uroangiographic agents. The contributions of the giants in this field, such as Lichtenberg, Swick and of course Almen, are covered in considerable depth." - Dr. Arpan K Banerjee, past chair and trustee, British Society for the History of Radiology
