Résumé : | Gadolinium (Gd)-based contrast agents (GBCAs) are used in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to increase the diagnostic yield. Current reports using animal models or human subjects have shown that GBCAs may be deposited in brain including the cerebellum. Although further studies may be required to clarify the toxicity of GBCAs, we should be more cautious to use these agents particularly in patients who more likely to have repeated enhanced MRI along their lifespan. In this editorial, current studies to clarify the toxicity of GBCAs in the cerebellum are introduced. |
