Contrast-Enhanced MRI: Moving Beyond Gadolinium

MR contrast agents have played an important role in diagnostic imaging for decades, with gadolinium-based contrast agents routinely used in radiology departments around the world.

Join us to reflect on how far MR contrast has come and explore where it could go next.

The session will look back at the introduction and evolution of gadolinium-based contrast agents, their established role in clinical practice, and advances that have shaped their use today.

The faculty will then explore some of the considerations influencing the evolving MR contrast landscape, including safety, gadolinium retention and environmental impact, and discuss how evidence and regulatory developments have informed clinical practice.

Finally, the session will look beyond gadolinium, exploring the unmet needs and scientific thinking driving research into alternative approaches to MR contrast, together with an update on emerging innovation and clinical research.
