Contrast-enhanced MRI

Contrast-enhanced MRI is a medical imaging technique that improves the visibility of internal structures in the body. During the procedure, a special dye called a contrast agent is injected into the patient’s bloodstream. This dye helps to highlight certain tissues or abnormalities, making them more distinguishable on the MRI images. It is particularly useful for detecting tumors, inflammation, and vascular conditions. The MRI machine uses powerful magnets and radio waves to create detailed images, and the contrast agent enhances these images for clearer and more accurate diagnosis by healthcare professionals.
