Brain scan breakthrough: same accuracy with 84% less dye?

NCT ID NCT04113395

Summary

This study tested whether a special type of MRI scan could detect a common brain tumor called a meningioma using a much smaller dose of contrast dye. Researchers compared new scanning techniques using only one-sixth of the standard dye dose against the current best method in 514 patients. The goal was to find a safer way to screen for these tumors, especially for people who need repeated scans over their lifetime.
