Specializes in Radiology - Interventional

Open scanner not: As good as regular MRI images but are close. May need gadolinium if looking for scar. Cat scan better if looking for a foreign body.

I had to get an MRI of my abdomen and pelvis (urogram) with contrast (gadolinium based, macrocyclic - dotarem). I was reading about gadolinium retention and issues surrounding it. Should I be worried about any of these issues? Is it completely safe?
