Having an MRI with contrast may lead to some side effects and safety concerns, including those below. Kidney Issues If you have healthy kidneys, you’ll excrete as much as 98% of the contrast medium before it breaks down. However, if you’re having problems with your kidneys and they’re...
Compared with other imaging modalities, MRI has excellent anatomical resolution; however, it suffers at the molecular scale due to its intrinsic low sensitivity. To produce a detectable change in water signal intensity, a relatively high concentration of contrast agent (0.01–0.1 mm) is required [...
has been directly associated with MRI contrast injections, such as MultiHance. In 2006, the FDA issued a public health advisory warning those with kidney problems to avoid the MRI contrast and a “black box” warning was added in 2007. ...

Side effects associated with the use of contrast media are dose dependent on the type of media used and vary in severity. Mild side effects, including vomiting, nausea, and a metallic taste in the mouth, may manifest shortly after the contrast agent is administered and usually subside relatively...
"This is obviously important for patients with chronic kidney disease and other forms of renal insufficiency that might require careful risk/benefit analysis before undergoing a GBCA-enhanced MRI, but we can also envision giving Mn-PyC3A to any patient requiring a contrast-enhanced MRI," he said...
The contrast agents should have similar localization as the therapeutic nanoparticles because of their similar size, charge, and targeting ligands and not have the side effects associated with Feridex. Studies are currently ongoing to image the distribution of the contrast agents by MRI with the goal...
Two-dimensional true fast imaging with steady-state free precession data sets were acquired at 5-minute intervals after contrast ingestion. Distention values for small-bowel segments (duodenum, proximal and distal jejunum, ileum) and occurrence of side effects were documented. RESULTS: Analysis of ...
Synthesis and evaluation of nanoglobular macrocyclic Mn(II) chelate conjugates as non-gadolinium(III) MRI contrast agents. Because of the recent observation of the toxic side effects of Gd(III) based MRI contrast agents in patients with , there is strong interest on developing ... M Tan,Z Ye...
Divided and subtracted MRI is a novel imaging processing technique, where the difference of two images is divided by their sum. When the sequence parameters are chosen properly, this results in images with a high T1 or T2 weighting over a small range of tissues with specific T1 and T2 values...
