No signs of residual gadolinium after MR arthrography
By Wayne Forrest
No signs of residual gadolinium uptake in the brain were found following intra-articular administration of a gadolinium-based contrast agent (GBCA) for MR arthrography in a new study, published online January 25 in Skeletal Radiology. The findings indicate that residual gadolinium may not occur with intra-articular use.
