This symposium titled “Considerations in the Selection of Gadolinium-Based Contrast Agents” explores CNS and Body studies in MRI. Our experts discuss practical strategies and implementation of guidelines in routine clinical practice. We will review strategies on how to address concerns regarding gadolinium administration as well. The purpose of this symposium is to provide physicians and other health care professionals with current clinical data to make informed decisions in their clinical settings.
