Filter by:Patients with moderate to severe renal impairment scheduled for a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan and injection with a contrast agent, Primovist/Eovist, will be asked to participate. The administration of contrast agents that contain gadolinium such as Primovist/Eovist might increase a potential risk to develop a rare condition called nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) in patients with renal impairment. This study is to assess the potential risk to develop NSF in patients with renal impairment after the administration of Primovist/Eovist. Patients who are enrolled in this study will receive a Primovist/Eovist enhanced MRI scan which was prescribed by the referring doctor. After the MRI scan the patient will be included in a two year follow-up period to assess if signs or symptoms suggestive of NSF have appeared.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether MRI with manganese containing contrast agent detects more livermetastasis compared to CT scan
Computed tomography (CT) scan using intravenous contrast (CT IV) as the sole type of contrast material, was studied as one method of evaluating children with suspected appendicitis. We felt that this technique could provide physicians with a faster and better-tolerated alternative to CT imaging which involves patients drinking oral contrast or needing rectal contrast administered. SPECIFIC AIMS 1. To test an imaging protocol using CT IV for the evaluation of suspected appendicitis in children in the setting of a pediatric emergency department (ED). 2. To determine test performance characteristics (specificity, sensitivity and diagnostic accuracy) of CT IV in detecting appendicitis in children.
Slowing of kidney function occurs in a minority of people given dye during angiography. The purpose of this study is to compare two different types of fluid given into a vein to reduce the risk of kidney injury: salt in water or baking soda in water.
