It does not need gadolinium contrast. [23] Dynamic contrast enhanced: DCE: Measures changes over time in the shortening of the spin–lattice relaxation (T1) induced by a gadolinium contrast bolus. [24] Faster Gd contrast uptake along with other features is suggestive of malignancy (pictured). [25] Functional MRI (fMRI) Blood-oxygen-level ...
MRI contrast agents are contrast agents used to improve the visibility of internal body structures in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). [1] The most commonly used compounds for contrast enhancement are gadolinium -based contrast agents (GBCAs).
Pyelogram (or pyelography or urography) is a form of imaging of the renal pelvis and ureter. [1]Types include: Intravenous pyelogram – In which a contrast solution is introduced through a vein into the circulatory system.

Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) is a group of techniques based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to image blood vessels. Magnetic resonance angiography is used to generate images of arteries (and less commonly veins) in order to evaluate them for stenosis (abnormal narrowing), occlusions, aneurysms (vessel wall dilatations, at risk of rupture) or other abnormalities.
When water is in an environment where it can freely tumble, relaxation tends to take longer. In certain clinical situations, this can generate contrast between an area of pathology and the surrounding healthy tissue. To sensitize MRI images to diffusion, the magnetic field strength (B1) is varied linearly by a pulsed field gradient.
The most significant impact of magnetic resonance neurography is on the evaluation of the large proximal nerve elements such as the brachial plexus (the nerves between the cervical spine and the underarm that innervate shoulder, arm and hand), [9] the lumbosacral plexus (nerves between the lumbosacral spine and legs), the sciatic nerve in the pelvis, [10] as well as other nerves such as the ...
