New research suggests that MRI with contrast may create nanoparticles that infiltrate your tissues. The research is ...

Researchers from the University of New Mexico found that gadolinium – a toxic rare earth metal used in MRI scans – could mix with oxalic acid found in many foods to precipitate tiny nanoparticles of ...

which is used in MRI imaging. Gadolinium-based contrast agents, which create sharper images of the scan, are injected into the body before an MRI to explore any potential issues in the body.

The gadolinium within MRI contrast dyes is toxic. However, when manufacturers create MRI dyes, they surround the gadolinium with another crystal-like chemical to keep it trapped. This allows the ...

These compounds are referred to as Gadolinium-Based Contrast Agents (GBCAs). GBCA has been used in MRI studies for a long time and passed the pre-marketing FDA testing. There were no apparent problems ...

Some MRI scans use a contrast dye that contains the metal gadolinium. This dye helps your doctor see the MRI picture more clearly. Usually it's very safe. But if you have severe kidney disease ...

Now, a revolutionary gadolinium-free contrast agent, RVP‑001, designed to provide safer contrast-enhanced MRIs for patients and to directly replace current MRI contrast agents, is being tested ...

As the trade war worsens, Beijing has banned the export of critical minerals used in the defense industry — but also for some cancer treatments and MRI exams.
