- Dynamic Expansion and Contraction of Multiple Sclerosis T2-Weighted Hyperintense Lesions Are Present below the Threshold of Visual Perception
Recognition of longitudinal imaging changes of MS lesions has substantial implications for clinical management, but changes may remain below the resolution of human perception. In this study, the authors demonstrated that T2-weighted hyperintense lesions undergo dynamic change on MRI, with predominantly enlarging or contracting characteristics, more frequently seen in untreated individuals.
- State of Practice: ASNR Statement on Gadolinium-Based Contrast Agent Use in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease
The ASNR Standards and Guidelines Committee reviewed new research evidence on GBCA safety and its relevance to current MRI contrast administration guidelines for patients with CKD. The recommendations for CKD patients are that there is no longer a need to withhold group II GBCAs when medically indicated for diagnosis and that it is not necessary to check renal function for these agents.
