2. MRI CONTRAST
are pharmaceuticals which can used includes order
to correct diagnostic information
Increases the signal intensity differences
And changes the intrinsic tissue properties
Can act in two ways
3. Directly
• By changing proton density concerning a tissue
Indirectly
•By changing local magnetic field and
consiquently which T1 additionally T2 times
5. 1. +ve relaxation agents(T1)
o Affects the T1 relaxation and reduce the T1 of cloths which they
accumulate and increase the signal intensity
o Engender T1w image
o Hence so called +ve relaxation agent
o Eg;- Gad
2. -ve relaxation agents (T2)
o Affect T2 relaxation and reduce the T2 of tissues and reduces the
signal maximum produce T2 weighted image
• Eg:-iron oxidizer particles, Gad
6. Depending on susceptibility
1.Paramagnetic agent
Gadolinium(Gd³+)
high dose can cause T2 shortening when passing
through vascular bed regarding brain
T2 shortening decreases the signal on T2w
Used Includes perfusion studies
known as T1 embellishment agent
7. Superpara magnetic & ferromagnetic agents
• -ve agents
• Affects the nucleus spin
• T2 shortening press indicator loss
• Eg:-iron oxide
8.
9. • Less earth metal concerning lanthide
• Atomic number 64
• Combined with chelates to prevent
toxicity to prompt and total excreation
• Plays a role in both T1 and T2 relaxation
Gadolinium
10. • Drives to both T1 & T2 relaxation
• Increased brightness in T1
• This T1 effect of Get. Are used more in clinical
purposes
• Gad leads to T2 reduction and decreased signal
on T2w images
14. • Adverse reaction to Gd are mild furthermore transient
• Overall reaction rate is 3 - 5 % which encompass ,headache
• Pr. with history of allergy,asthma,previous reactions to
drugs
• Iodinated Gd are more given for disadvantaged reaction so
precausions should be taken in these cases
ADVERSE REACTIONS
15. 1. RENAL FAILURE :
safety is no clearly established in kidney failure
although he is well tolerated Gd chelates can be
dialized
2. HISTORY OF ALLERGY/ASTHMA :
precautions should be picked in are patients
with constant monitoring
SAFETY ISSUES
16. 3. PREGNANCY:
• Gd is known to cruise the placenta.
so it is recommended that CM should not become injection in
pregnant patient
4. LACTATION:
o Shouldn’t breast feed for 36-48hrs
17. • While contrast agents are widely used with
safe outcomes and little other no side
effects,adverse reactions may occur.
In summary
Expect the unexpected and be prepared.
