Understanding MRI Orbits With Contrast
What is MRI Orbits With Contrast?
Magnetic Resonance Imaging Orbits with Contrast is only done on the doctor's approval. During the testing, they inject the patient with gadolinium-based dye into the arm; this contrast medium helps enhance the image quality and allows the radiologist to make a more accurate diagnosis. This dye doesn't permanently dye your internal organs but, for the time being, changes the way imaging modalities view and react to your body.
It is used to detect and track Multiple Sclerosis. MRI scans have now changed the way MS has been diagnosed, and it is used as a primary method. If a radiologist uses the dye in an MRI test to make tissues softer, doctors find it easier and better to detect cancer tumours as they grow further.
