enhancement
Explanation:
Enhancement alone is sufficient - later on in the phrase you have "somminstrazione di MDC" - administration of contrast material/agent/medium

The definitive reference for interrogating the legends to radiological images is listed below. It returns 26,745 CT images with the word "enhancement" appearing in the legend. A quick look at the first ten legends gives "contrast enhancement" three times and "enhancement" alone seven times.
