APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR EXAMINING AN OBJECT BY MEANS OF ELASTICALLY SCATTERED X-RAY RADIATION AND CONTRAST AGENT

摘要

The invention relates to A contrast agent for application to an examination area of an object that is to be examined, in particular a patient, for an X-ray examination of the examination area by means of X-ray radiation, characterized that the contrast agent comprises scattering particles to form elastically scattered X-rays. By means of the scattering particles, the examination area can be made visible in the detected signal compared to surrounding areas. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method of examining an object, in particular a patient, by means of elastically scattered X-ray radiation as claimed in claim 9, a method of producing a contrast agent as claimed in claim 12, and an apparatus for examining an object by means of elastically scattered x-ray radiation as claimed in claim 15.
