Contrast Agents for Magnetic Resonance Imaging: Safety Update

Kirchin, Miles A., Runge, Val M.·2003·Topics in Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Abstract

Magnetic resonance contrast agents, particularly the gadolinium-based agents, are extremely safe and lack the nephrotoxicity associated with iodinated contrast media. Currently, seven gadolinium agents are available in one or more countries of the world, of which only four are available for clinical use in the United States. Minor adverse effects associated with each of these agents occur infrequently and include nausea, headache, and taste perversion. Whereas the gadolinium agents cannot be differentiated on the basis of these mild adverse effects, recent studies have brought to light the issue of chelate stability, and in particular, clinical observations associated with the least stable of these agents. This review briefly discusses the most recent safety issues concerning the gadolinium agents. A brief review of safety issues concerning the non-gadolinium agents is also provided.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
