Imagine going in for a diagnostic MRI scan and coming out with a progressive, irreversible, and potentially fatal disease. It certainly doesn't help matters that the disease has been linked to gadolinium-based contrast agents, a ubiquitous tool in the MR armamentarium. In 2006 the U.S. Louis hospital.

Bones become more fragile and porous with age, so less force is needed to break their structure. While X-rays are typically utilized, an MRI or CT scan may be recommended. What Are Broken Bones? Ideal for assessing small fractures, the spinal cord, bone bruises and joint injuries, MRI technology provides more detail.

MRI is key to diagnosis, obtain this imaging in all patients who raise clinical suspicion Patients with hemodynamic instability and neurologic compromise warrant empiric antibiotics. The degree of elevation does not predict disease severity. If a patient requires premedication or has renal failure, obtain the non-contrast MRI first.
