Scientists have been able to visualize brain cancer using a novel MRI method. They use a simple sugar solution instead of conventional contrast agents, which can have side effects in the body.

Doctors use a lumbar MRI scan to examine a person’s lower spine for problems. It is a painless and low risk procedure. Learn more here.

Clariscan is a macrocyclic, gadolinium-based contrast agent, for intravenous use with magnetic resonance imaging in brain (intracranial), spine and associated tissues in adult and pediatric patients.

Brain MRI without contrast agent is just as effective as the contrast-enhanced approach for monitoring disease progression in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), according to a new study in the ...

MRI interpretations without patient-reported symptom information resulted in a significant decrease in diagnostic accuracy and confidence.

Parasagittal MRI of the Lumbar Spine - T1-weighted image. Note that this slice provides an unique view of the exiting nerve roots through the intervertebral foramina. The nerve roots exit directly ...

Their aim was to understand size-dependent properties of T 1 contrast at low field strengths (a T1-weighted MR image demonstrates differences in the longitudinal relaxation times of tissues). By ...

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is the test most commonly used to look at the spine. It uses magnetic waves instead of radiation. An MRI –scanner creates a magnetic field 30 000 times as strong as ...

Dear Dr. Roach: My primary care doctor has ordered that I get an MRI scan with and without contrast dye. I have been having head pain every day in one single spot behind my right eye. My question ...
