MRI dye tracked in urine: new study aims to see how fast it clears
NCT ID NCT06191731
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at how quickly gadolinium, a contrast agent used in some MRIs, leaves the body through urine. Researchers will collect urine samples from 60 adults before and up to 2.5 hours after their MRI. The goal is to better understand the body's elimination of this substance.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- gadolinium-based contrast agents
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors understand how quickly the body clears gadolinium after an MRI, which may improve safety guidelines.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early observational study with only 60 participants. It measures urine levels, not health outcomes, so it won't directly change treatment.
