“…This compares favourably to the incidence with iodinated contrast media used with CT (0.03%–0.16%) 29. Patients with a pre-existing allergy to other contrast agents (such as iodine) may confer a greater risk of anaphylaxis to gadolium-based contrast agents, thus highlighting the need for a thorough screening questionnaire prior to any contrast administration 23 25…”

More frequently hospital clinicians are reviewing images from MR studies of their patients before seeking formal radiological opinion. This practice is driven by a multitude of factors, including an increased demand placed on hospital services, the wide availability of the picture archiving and communication system, time pressures for patient treatment (eg, in the management of acute stroke) and an inherent desire for the clinician to learn. Knowledge of the basic physical principles behind MRI is essential for correct image interpretation. This article, written for the general hospital physician, describes the basic physics of MRI taking into account the machinery, contrast weighting, spin-and gradientecho techniques and pertinent safety issues. Examples provided are primarily referenced to neuroradiology reflecting the subspecialty for which MR currently has the greatest clinical application.

“…Painful and pruritic, plaque-like ‘woody’ induration of the skin occurs later in the course of the disease with the legs more commonly affected than the arms and torso. The face is spared 25. These cutaneous manifestations may lead to contractures and limit mobility.…”

“…The high incidence of renal compromise in VHL patients from RCC and renal cysts frequently precludes the use of gadolinium-based contrast due to the risk of nephrogenic systemic sclerosis. 28 The typical MRI appearance of a CNS haemangioblastoma is of a brightly enhancing mass, clearly delineated from the surrounding brain or spinal cord. The tumour tissue may be hypointense or isointense on precontrast T1-weighted MRI and hyperintense on T2-weighted MRI.…”

“…Various resources publish MRI compatibility for individual devices, allowing for verification of safety prior to image acquisition, including the Institute for Magnetic Resonance Imaging Safety, Education and Research website [102]. Of the more than 2300 devices tested on the website, over 900 have been certified at 3T or higher field strength [15]. While promising, the possibility exists that a device that is 'weakly' ferromagnetic at 1.5T will have significant interaction with a high strength magnetic field such as 3T [16].…”
