Current status of contrast-enhanced MRI Proceedings

Abstract

The significance of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a diagnostic tool is continuously increasing. Parallel with the growing technical possibilities of MR-machines contrast media for MRI emerge and are being used in increasing frequency and a widening range of indications. To meet the challenge of MRI and its implications on the use of contrast media an international workshop was organized. The aims of this meeting, as reflected in these proceedings, were to provide for an exchange of clinical experience and results with MRI, as well as an assessment of the role of contrast media in MRI. An attempt was made to develop recommendations for contrast enhanced MRI based on the suggestions of the speakers and the discussion during this workshop.
