Contrast Media - The Visual Guide

This educational video breaks down the different types of contrast media used in medical imaging, explaining their properties, applications, and safety considerations.

Video Content

In this 15-minute guide, I cover:

  • Iodinated contrast for CT imaging

  • Safety profiles and contraindications

This video is designed to be accessible to medical students and radiology residents while still providing valuable insights for practicing clinicians.

Behind the Scenes

This project combined my medical knowledge with my interest in educational design. I worked with a medical animator to create the visualizations of contrast distribution through the body, aiming to make abstract concepts more concrete and memorable.

The video has been shared in several radiology residency programs as a teaching resource.
