A member asked:
Why do they use gadolinium for spinal mri?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Contrast: Gadolinium is used when there is a desire to exclude or further define processes that may show increased enhancement (contrast accumulation). Such processes can include tumors, inflammation, and infection. Gadolinium is not routinely used when there is a history that suggests disc disease or trauma.
