abstract = "In this study contrast properties for computed tomography (CT) of two tungstate-containing molecules differing in size, shape, and structure: Keggin type polyoxometalate, 12-tungstosilicic acid, WSiA and sodium tungstate, Na2WO4, were assessed in vitro. In this aim, X-ray attenuation was monitored in vitro at different tungsten concentrations in the range of 3.125-100 mM. A stronger X-ray attenuation was observed for Na2WO4 in the presence of the same tungsten concentrations. In addition, both Na2WO4 and WSiA demonstrated better contrast performance compared to iodine-based iohexol solution, which has been widely applied as a contrast agent for CT. Accordingly, tungsten-containing compounds deserve attention as promising new-generation CT contrast candidates. Thus, future studies should be directed to the synthesis of novel tungsten molecules of different structures resulting in appropriate contrast and low toxicity.",
