In contrast the simulation did not achieve the sufficient segmentation of the CH 4 and CO 2 hydrates coexisting with water or ice but it revealed the capability of absorption-contrast X-ray CT to model the physical properties of clathrate hydrates such as Ar and Cl 2 hydrates. These results demonstrate that the proposed method can be used to
X-rays are the oldest and most frequently used form of medical imaging. The lower GI uses a special form of x-ray called fluoroscopy and a contrast material called barium or a water soluble iodinated contrast. Fluoroscopy makes it possible to see internal organs in motion.

2019-7-13 · Abstract. X-ray phase-contrast methods for imaging and tomography have considerable advantages over conventional absorption contrast. They enable excellent imaging contrast for both high- and low-density materials within the same sample and offer additional imaging modes which can highlight low-contrast boundaries subtle density gradients and fine-scale texture.
What is joint X-ray with contrast dye Joint X-ray with contrast dye is used to examine a joint such as the knee or hip when standard X-rays are not adequate. A series of X-rays is taken with the joint in various positions after contrast dye is placed in the joint. The doctor may use fluoroscopy CT or MR imaging to better visualize the joint.
