Visualization of Small Vessels by Micro–Computed Tomography Using Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticles as a Novel Contrast Agent by Taku Goto, Ruriko Tanabe, Hirotoshi Shibuya, Masaru Tamura, Shintaro Nomura

“…These findings suggest a direct correlation between the signal intensity in m-CT imaging and the volume of contrast agent entering the vessels, indicating a quantitative aspect to the system. The low K-edge value of titanium (4.6 KeV) ensures that the signal intensity of the contrast agent remains unaffected at low energies (40 KeV). …”
