Less contrast, same clarity: new MRI method could reduce gadolinium exposure
NCT ID NCT04113395
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether using a much lower dose of gadolinium (a contrast dye) in MRI scans can still find meningiomas (a type of brain tumor) as well as the standard full dose. Over 500 adults getting a brain MRI for screening or follow-up took part. The goal is to reduce the amount of gadolinium patients receive, which can build up in the body over time.
