X-ray imaging is one of the most widely used medical imaging methods and has provided the possibility of diagnosing cancerous tissues by producing high-contrast images. The use of contrast agents is one of the conventional methods for improving the separation power of medical images. In this article, the effectiveness of zinc oxide nanoparticles (polyethylene glycol doped with iodine) as a contrast material for X-ray diffraction was investigated. zinc oxide nanoparticles (NPs)- polyethylene glycol doped with iodine were synthesized. The crystallization quality of the sample was investigated by X-ray diffraction. The suspensions obtained from the synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles—polyethylene glycol doped with iodine—in the artificial jaw and the bone were investigated and compared in terms of differences in the contrast of the images before and after the use of the substance in question. The results show an increase in the contrast of the images after using the contrast material.
