This webinar titled “Hot Topics in CNS for MRI” discusses the value of high relaxivity for brain cancer detection and evaluation and its possible impact in patient treatment decision-making. In addition, we discuss properties of available GBCAs and how they selectively matter in the selection of an MR contrast agent in neuroradiology. The purpose of this webinar is to provide physicians, technologists, and other health care professionals with current clinical data to make informed decisions in their clinical settings.
