Researchers: Gadolinium removal drug is needed
By Brian Casey
A new review of the literature on gadolinium-based contrast agents for MRI scans has found a "significant gap in knowledge" on the health effects of gadolinium accumulation in tissue. Researchers are calling for new clinical studies, as well as the development of a drug that would remove retained gadolinium from the body.

Breast MR: Is it accessible to women who need it?
By Kate Madden Yee
MR is an effective breast cancer screening tool for women with a higher lifetime risk of the disease. But its availability can be limited, and sociodemographic factors may play more of a role in access than women's breast cancer risk factors, according to a new study published in the Journal of the American College of Radiology.

New study adds to concerns about gadolinium deposition
By Wayne Forrest
A new study has found that deposition of gadolinium from MRI contrast in brain and bone tissue could be more common than previously thought. Researchers found traces of gadolinium in patients who received a class of MRI contrast agents that are more stable and thus were thought to be less prone to deposition.
