ABSTRACT: MRI using gadolinium
contrast media is useful in diagnosis; however, nephrogenic systemic fibrosis
is a serious side effect of gadolinium exposure. Moreover, it turns out that
gadolinium deposits in the brain. This has escalated the necessity for a
suitable method to use gadolinium contrast media. I developed a new imaging
method that had excellent contrast. This study examined the usefulness of that
new imaging method and found the method is highly effective.
