Comparison of Rhenium and Iodine as Contrast Agents in X-Ray Imaging

PURPOSE: The majority of X-ray contrast agents (XCA) are made with iodine, but iodine-based XCA (I-XCA) exhibit low contrast in high kVp X-rays due to iodine's low atomic number (Z = 53) and K-edge (33.1 keV). While rhenium is a transition metal with a high atomic number (Z = 75) and K-edge (71...
