Video from RSNA 2017: Gadolinium retention debate takes center stage

Nov 28, 2017

When action movie star Chuck Norris earlier this month filed suit against firms involved in the distribution of gadolinium-based contrast agents, he put a human face on the gadolinium retention issue. MRI safety expert Dr. Emanuel Kanal of the University of Pittsburgh discusses the latest findings in what's known about gadolinium safety in this video.

MR image from a 55-year-old patient with triple-negative breast cancer from training set. (A, above) Axial postcontrast T1-weighted image from baseline MRI exam shows unifocal enhancing mass (unifocality: positive). (B, below) Axial postcontrast T1-weighted image from MRI examination per-formed after one cycle of neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy shows >37% reduction in lesion size (early tumor shrinkage: positive) and development of non-enhancing region within lesion (percentage enhancement reduction: positive).
