What is the MRI Contrast?

The machine of an MRI is like a large cylindrical piece of equipment that generates powerful and strong magnetic field around the patient. It creates highly detailed pictures of the body’s soft tissue of the patient to provide your doctor with important diagnostic and prognostic information. But you might not know about the contrast. It has a clinical role. A gadolinium-based contrast agent (GBCAs) is used. For you to understand it easily, it is a type of MRI dye, that will help in adding clarity and depth to the MRI image.
When is an MRI Contrast performed?
An MRI contrast can only be performed after a doctor prescribes it. It cannot be performed without a doctor’s permit.
What does an MRI Contrast detect?
When you are getting an MRI contrast scan, they will inject the gadolinium-based dye into your arm intravenously. The job of this contrast is to make the image of your body parts visible and clear, in the end making them more substantial. It helps to diagnose with a better view. It will not permanently discolor the organs as the body will absorb it and you will excrete it out via urine. All the MRIs don’t need this contrast agent and they can be done with contrast. If you are prescribed this type of contrast MRI then it will clear out every type of tumor in your body.
