Program Summary
This program presents an overview of the use of gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Clinical information for contrast-enhanced MRI has changed rapidly in the past several years. This video presents current information on FDA-approved GBCAs, as well as updated safety warnings and guidelines. This hour-long program offers a broad understanding of how and why GBCAs are used for clinical MRI to best obtain clinically necessary information.
