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.
