Abstract
An iodinated CT contrast agent made of fatty acid derivatives for non-invasive visualisation and quantification of the brown and/or beige adipose tissue (BAT) or for imaging the heart and/or liver of a subject, to be taken orally which is a breakthrough in CT imaging. Image resolution by CT is significantly enhanced compared to PET.
