Study shows MRIs without contrast might be OK for routine MS followups on: March 17, 2019, 11:18:38 am #1 There are some slight risks involved in the use of gadolinium contrast dye for MRIs, but neurologists have been routinely requiring its use for almost all MS-related MRIs. Now this study indicates that quite a few of those MRIs could be done without the contrast dye.
