The present paper provides a brief overview of the rationale behind magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques, a description of the most common sequences used, and a general approach to performing ...

Validation of rano criteria: Contribution of T2/FLAIR assessment in patients with recurrent glioblastoma treated with bevacizumab. This is an ASCO Meeting Abstract from the 2014 ASCO Annual Meeting I.

Experiments in dogs, rabbits and monkeys show the efficacy and biocompatibility of a new MRI/MRA contrast agent in detecting stroke. This T1 MRI contrast agent based on ultrasmall iron oxide ...

Gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) used in MRI and angiography contain a chelated form of the toxic heavy metal that was assumed to clear the body shortly after intravenous administration. [1] ...

Nanoscientists have demonstrated a method for loading nanoparticles with iron ions to create MRI contrast agents that outperform gadolinium chelates, the mainstay contrast agent that is facing ...

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 ...
