@uretericbud @dr_coops @daviesbj ICYMI—Reminder there is no free lunch. Maybe this is overblown (maybe promoted by malpractice lawyers) but there are unresolved issues with tissue deposition of gadolinium with MRI. So “radiation-free” MRI isn’t an absolute advantage over CT if using Gad https://t.co/TXZn2o3LoQ https://t.co/HDMt2NnPwG

@wesleyapril In 2016, one research group proposed “Gadolinium Deposition Disease” to describe a patient population that reported specific adverse effects post #Gadolinium Deposition. Researchers noted ‘burning’ as one of the symptoms experienced by these patients. https://t.co/OwiSdwmoJf
