The idea of having a portable MRI machine is becoming more main-stream.  Medical organizations across America, and many hospitals, are purchasing or making use of portable MRI machines.

These machines have many benefits that can be achieved with their use.  To begin,  the portable MRI machines can help significantly cut wait time for any patients.  The portable machine can also allow treatment to occur in separate locations in a general area.  The machine can be traded around to meet the particular needs or demands as they emerge. These machines may be better utilized in case of a large scale accident,  providing treatment near the source.

Scientists have discovered a nanocolloid contrasting agent for MRIs that is safer than gadolinium. The new agent does not pose the same risk of developing tissue disorders that gadolinium does.

The agent was formed by stirring manganese oxide nanoparticles in a mixture of vegetable oil and surfactant to give the nanoparticle phospholipid shells. These nanocolloids work well as contrast agents because of their sensitivity to fibrin, a major component of blood clots. The agent can also be easily metabolized and excreted by the body, making it safe for use.

If you or someone you know has been treated with gadolinium, contact the NSF lawyers of Williams Kherkher at 800-761-3187.

The United States Food and Drug Administration has approved a new device that will be an MRI-Laser treatment device.  The treatment will be able to locate and treat hard to find brain tumors.

The lasers will allow the surgeon a lot of control in the MRI treatment process.  This technology will be researched further, and improvements should occur over the next few years. 

The company that is responsible for this new treatment package is Monteris.

A new platform is currently being used that could hopefully target, image, and treat cancer in a patient.  The treatment makes use of gadolinium ions.  The study understands the dangers of gadolinium in patients with poor kidneys, and hoped to work around the previous issues of gadolinium and NSF.

The new method uses a gadolinium nano-particle surrounded by other nano-particles.   Many believe that this new method will not be as dangerous to individuals with kidney problems.  This new method produced results that were almost equal to previous results,  but without the harmful side effects.  More testing need to be conducted, but this could possibly be used in future treatments.
