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...
In 2017, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a warning that gadolinium-based contrast agents can remain in the body, including in the brain, for months to years. However, the FDA notes that this hasn't been linked to any adverse health effects, and they say the benefits of use...
This novel agent, based on the essential nutrient manganese, has strong potential as a safer alternative to currently used contrast agentsDecember 28, 2020 — Adding a contrast-enhancing agent to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) significantly improves image quality and allows radiologists who interpret...
CMC 001is an orally administeredMRIcontrastagent in development for enhancement of theliver, bile ducts and gastrointestinal tract. Applications are screening oflivertumors/metastases, imaging of the biliary tract and it could be suitable forliverfunction studies by following the metabolism and excretion...
This is when a patient first has a regular MRI, and afterwards is given a special type of contrast medium called gadolinium through an IV. Then, a second MRI isdone to get another series of pictures using the dye. An MRI technique called "diffusion weighted imaging" helps show the cellular...

CT Scan Risks andSide Effects CT scan is a very low-risk procedure. The patient will be exposed to radiationwhen undergoing a CT scan. However, it is a safe level. The biggest potential risk is with a contrast (also called dye) injection that is sometimes used in CT scanning. This cont...
Third, while DWI and dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) have been proven to be accurate assessments of PCa, these methods were not included in our study because ADC is calculated from DWI; thus, there is an intrinsic connection between them, and the importance of DCE-MRI has diminished...
We email all official reports to patients and their primary doctors. Patients will also receive all images of MRI and ultrasound on DVD the same day. MRI and ultrasound procedures are noninvasive and have no radiation side effects. No contrast dye is used, and fasting for four hours is requi...
The first one (DATASET1) included 20 institutional patients with WHO grade II and III gliomas who underwent post-contrast 3D axial T1-weighted (T1w-gd) and axial T2-weighted fluid attenuation inversion recovery (T2w-flair) sequences on two different MR devices (1.5 T and 3.0 T) with a ...
