ISMI offers a radiologist-led Full-Body MRI in Montreal to identify life-saving findings, detect health risks, and support ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers have developed a new MRI contrast dye that enables more accurate and safer detection of early-stage liver disease than currently approved agents. The new compound, called ProCA32.collagen1 ...

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 ...

Exploring MRI contrasts NIST researcher Samuel Oberdick and colleagues tested iron oxide nanoparticles at low-strength magnetic fields. Nanoparticles inside a liquid solution (pictured here) are ...

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 ...
