X-ray contrast agent technology : a revolutionary history / Christoph de Haën.

"This book documents the fascinating history of X-ray contrast agents, pharmaceutical products that allow the clinician to distinguish anatomical structures with nearly identical natural radiological density. There is special focus on contrast agents for urological and angiographic use. The text includes many of the fundamental documentary sources that bring to life the social and scientific background of the technological advances, the personalities and knowledge cultures of the researchers, and the careers of new products."--From back cover.
