Contrast materials can help highlight areas of interest in MRI scans. Contrast injections may cause side effects like mild rashes and hives, but, in rare instances, it is also possible for a person to ...

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a cornerstone in the landscape of medical diagnostics, celebrated for its non-ionizing and non-invasive nature. With nearly 40% of MRI procedures requiring contrast ...

A new study has found why MRI scans may leave harmful metals behind in a person's body. The University of New Mexico (UNM) study explored health risks caused by toxic rare earth metal gadolinium, ...

A twist on magnetic resonance imaging that does not require gadolinium contrast appears to be as effective as standard imaging at detecting prostate cancers, according to a new study in JAMA. Experts ...

Scientists believe they may have found the reason why some patients get so sick from the contrast dye they’re injected with before magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. While researchers have long ...

Researchers at Rice University and Oak Ridge National Laboratory have unveiled a physics-based model of magnetic resonance relaxation that bridges molecular-scale dynamics with macroscopic magnetic ...
