Learn from NSF crisis to avoid 'gadolinium phobia'
When the nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) crisis broke out, very effective countermeasures were drawn up and implemented. In the current debate over the safety of gadolinium-based MRI contrast agents, we must learn three vital lessons from the NSF episode and bear them in mind, Dr. Johannes Heverhagen, PhD, said.

Dedicated breast F-18 FDG PET/MRI exam pre- (A, D, G), mid- (B, E, H), and post-NAC (C, F, I) of a 41-year-old patient diagnosed with a triple negative (TN), grade 2, invasive carcinoma. The SUVmax values of the primary tumor were 14.68 pre-NAC, 1.69 mid-NAC, and 1.87 post-NAC, while SER values were 1.19, 0.52, and 0.63, respectively.
