Description:
Course Overview and Educational Objectives

Data regarding gadolinium deposition in patients who have undergone contrast-enhanced MRI are rapidly evolving. Further research is needed to evaluate the clinical significance, if any, of these findings. In the meantime, radiologists and referring physicians must ensure informed decision-making about the benefits and potential risks to patients undergoing a contrast-enhanced MRI examination.

This lecture will discuss the relevant physicochemical properties and classification of gadolinium-based contrast agents, review recent literature on the deposition of gadolinium, and discuss recent changes to the ACR recommendations for screening patients undergoing GBCA examinations.

After completing this activity, the participants should be better able to:

Describe how physicochemical properties and classification of GBCAs may affect patient safety
Discuss recent studies reporting the discovery of gadolinium deposits in patients who have undergone contrast-enhanced MRI exams
Summarize what is known and not known regarding the clinical significance of gadolinium deposition in patients
Implement new ACR screening guidelines for patients receiving a GBCA-enhanced procedure
