There are two non-gadolinium contrast agents approved for MRIs. However, the two are only approved for use of evaluating the liver.
Other approved contrast agents include iodinated contrast agents, which are commonly used for x-rays. Not only are these contrast agents not used for MRIs but they also have possible life-threatening side effects.
If you or anyone you know has questions about your MRI exams, contact the gadolinium lawyers of Williams Kherkher at 800-761-3187.
