Reply to: Are all questions about the safety of MRI contrast agent answered?
Dear Editor, We thank Dr. Goischke for his interest in our article about neuronal gadolinium deposition after intravenous application of macrocyclic gadolinium-based contrast agents detected by magnetic resonance imaging in a 5-year longitudinal survey (1, 2) and his...Are all questions about the safety of MRI contrast agent answered?
Dear Editor, Deposition of Gadolinium (Gd) in various organs and tissues from contrast MRIs has been consistently reported in animals and in humans. Although this is associated with all agents, the extent is much less with the macrocyclic Gd based-contrast agent (mGBCA). The conclusions from the study of Kromrey et al. [1] described in the key points are undifferentiated and one-sided – the complexity of Gd deposits is not observed.
