title: X-ray contrast-enhancing agents.
abstract: The author argues that, whatever important and rapid developments may be taking place in imaging technologies, there will be a continuing need for X-ray enhancing agents for a considerable time to come. Areas in which there are current developments, such as non-ionic dimers and compact dimers, are surveyed and a look to a possible future of blood pool and targetted agents is offered.
