Jun 27, 2023 · An MRI with contrast is an imaging test that combines magnetic and radio wave imaging with an injection of a contrast agent (dye). The dye highlights blood vessels, organs, and specific soft tissues so they show up more clearly and help your radiologist determine a diagnosis.
Dec 9, 2022 · MRI contrast agents have become an indispensable part of contemporary magnetic resonance imaging. Although MRI was initially hoped to provide a means of making definitive diagnoses without administering contrast media, it has been found that the addition of contrast agents in many cases improves sensitivity and/or specificity.
MRI contrast agents are contrast agents used to improve the visibility of internal body structures in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). [1] The most commonly used compounds for contrast enhancement are gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs).
