Do you need to have a contract agent for a cardiac MRI? I'm concerned about the gadolinium. My doctor wants to assess my LVH and Aortic Root.
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?
Ultrasound revealed liver hemangioma. Doc wants an MRI but I'm claustrophobic. CT scan with no contrast agent sufficient for proper diagnosis?
Doc thinks paresthesias = anxiety but ordered brain MRI to be safe. Is gadolinium necessary or can I go without? Am atopic. Scared of contrast.
