Gadolinium deposition in the brain: another concern regarding gadolinium-based contrast agents.
Nevzat Karabulut Life is continuously confronting us with new issues and sometimes breaking our routine. One case in point is the curious way radiologists’ knowledge about the benefits and risks of gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) continues to evolve. Significantly improving detection and characterization of lesions in a broad spectrum of diseases, GBCAs have become integral aides to ma...
متن کاملLinear Gadolinium-Based Contrast Agents Are Associated With Brain Gadolinium Retention in Healthy Rats
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate Gd retention in the deep cerebellar nuclei (DCN) of linear gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) compared with a macrocyclic contrast agent. MATERIALS AND METHODS The brain tissue retention of Gd of 3 linear GBCAs (gadobenate dimeglumine, gadopentetate dimeglumine, and gadodiamide) and a macrocyclic GBCA (gadoterate meglumine) was compared i...
متن کاملGadolinium encephalopathy after intrathecal gadolinium injection.
BACKGROUND Gadolinium-induced encephalopathy is a well documented complication due to the inadvertent entrance of a high dose of gadolinium into the intrathecal compartment. In lab animals, injecting gadolinium into the intrathecal compartment resulted in neurotoxicity and seizures. It is also well recognized that the presence of autologous blood in the intrathecal compartment can cause a broad...
متن کاملNo Association between Gadolinium-Based Contrast Agents and Development of Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis: a Case Study
Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF), previously known as nephrogenic fibrosing dermopathy, is an emerging systemic fibrosing disorder that develops in the setting of renal insufficiency. Nephrogenic fibrosing dermopathy (NFD) is a fibrosing condition of the skin which shows an increased number of dendritic cells, fibroblasts and thickened collagen fibers resembling scleromyxedema. It is charact...
متن کاملGadolinium contrast agents: Over exposure?
Background MRI has dramatically changed the way we diagnose disease. With the introduction of contrast agents specifically for MRI, we were now able to see that which was ‘invisible’. Gadopentetate dimeglumine (Magnevist) was introduced over 20 years ago, since then many more agents with variable features have been introduced. Several newer agents have improved ‘relaxivity’ and some designated ...
