IMPROVED METHODS FOR DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING USING A CONTRAST AGENT AND A VASODILATOR |
摘要 |
A method for providing an image of an internal region of a patient has been developed. The method reduces imaging artifacts by providing enhanced contrast between tissue and blood during imaging. The method comprises administering to a patient a contrast agent in combination with a renal vasodilator and performing ultrasound imaging of the region. Renal disease, including renal arterial stenosis, may be diagnosed using the method.
