Experts have provided new guidance in the use of contrast agents during MRI scans. Emerging research suggests gadolinium-based contrast agents, injected in a patient's veins to brighten tissues in MRI ...

To produce sharper images of organs through magnetic resonance imaging, doctors and researchers often inject patients with so-called contrast agents. The most commonly used agents contain the metal ...

Depending on the thermodynamic complex stability, addition of the trivalent metal salts may cause transmetallation or recomplexing in the MRI contrast agents, resulting in the release of toxic Gd 3+ ...

Adding a contrast-enhancing agent to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) significantly improves image quality and allows radiologists who interpret MRI scans to pick up subtle anatomic details and ...

People with a history of allergic-like reactions to iodinated contrast media, which is used in a variety of X-ray-based procedures, such as CT and angiography, are susceptible to similar reactions ...

Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body and has an important role in healthy tissue as well as in a range of prevalent diseases. Medical research and diagnostics hence call for means ...

A medical innovation that has significantly advanced medical treatments, magnetic resonance imaging has helped doctors see inside the body. MRI scans are a non-invasive and relatively safe procedure.
