New prostate cancer detection procedure to use gadolinium

by Administrator 29. January 2010 07:13

The chances of detecting prostate cancer may be better because of a new procedure. The procedure uses magnetic resonance spectroscopy, which gives doctors information about the metabolic chemistry of the surrounding tissue.

The procedure, however, injects gadolinium into the prostate to enhance the image. In some cases, gadolinium has been linked to a number of negative side effects, including nephrogenic systemic fibrosis. 

If you or anyone you know has experienced a negative side effect related to gadolinium, contact the gadolinium lawyers of Williams Kherkher at 800-761-3187.

How does the FDA warn patients about gadolinium?

by Administrator 11. January 2010 04:31

The Federal Drug Administration (FDA) requires a black box warning for gadolinium-related products. This black box warning on the packaging alerts patients to the dangers related to the product. 

It also is meant to prevent any improper or misleading marketing on the box. This packaging will ensure that both patients and administrators correctly use the drug and the recommended dosage for MRI scans. 

If you or anyone you know has suffered negative side effects from using gadolinium, contact the gadolinium lawyers of Williams Kherkher at 800-761-3187.

How do you determine if gadolinium was used as a contrast agent?

by Administrator 6. January 2010 04:55

Many patients who undergo an MRI are unaware of the contrast agent used in the MRI. These patients, however, can find out which agents are used in a number of ways. 

For instance, patients could ask the doctor in charge of the MRI or the person who operates the MRI. Also, patients could ask the hospital for its accounting records, which typically contain information about which contrast agents are purchasd. 

However, before undergoing an MRI, all patients should find out which contrast agent is used because of the negative side effects linked with gadolinium. If you or anyone you konw has experienced negative side effects because of a gadolinium contrast agent, contact the gadolinium lawyers of Williams & Kherkher at 800-761-3187.
