Advanced MRI with Contrast Services at NTxDI

At North Texas Digital Imaging (NTxDI), we provide state-of-the-art MRI with contrast services using our advanced Philips Infinion 1.5T MRI system. Our board-certified radiologists deliver detailed, contrast-enhanced imaging that helps your doctor make accurate diagnoses and develop effective treatment plans.

When is MRI with Contrast Recommended?

Your doctor may order an MRI with contrast to evaluate:

  • Brain and spinal cord conditions – tumors, multiple sclerosis lesions, infections
  • Cancer detection and staging – identifying tumor size, location, and spread
  • Vascular abnormalities – aneurysms, blood vessel blockages, arteriovenous malformations
  • Inflammatory conditions – infections, abscesses, areas of inflammation
  • Soft tissue evaluation – distinguishing between scar tissue and recurrent tumors
  • Abdominal and pelvic organs – liver, kidney, pancreas, and reproductive system assessment

What to Expect During Your MRI with Contrast

 Before Your Exam

  • Continue taking regular medications unless instructed otherwise

  • Eat and drink normally unless your doctor specifies fasting
  • Remove all metal objects, jewelry, and electronic devices
  • Inform us of any allergies, kidney problems, or previous contrast reactions

Benefits of MRI with Contrast at NTxDI

 Enhanced Diagnostic Accuracy

Contrast-enhanced MRI provides superior image clarity, allowing our radiologists to detect smaller abnormalities and make more precise diagnoses that might be missed on standard MRI scans.

 Faster Results

Your contrast MRI results are typically available within 12-24 hours through our secure patient portal or directly to your referring physician.

Comfortable Experience

Our Philips 1.5T MRI system offers a more open design and quieter scanning experience, helping reduce anxiety during your contrast-enhanced procedure.

 Expert Interpretation

All contrast MRI studies are reviewed by our board-certified radiologists with specialized training in contrast-enhanced imaging interpretation.

During Your Procedure

  1. nitial Scanning : We’ll begin with non-contrast images
  2. Contrast Injection : A small IV catheter will be placed in your arm to administer the gadolinium contrast agent
  3. Enhanced Imaging : Additional scans will be taken as the contrast circulates through your body
  4. Total Time : Most contrast MRI exams take 30-60 minutes

Safety and Side Effects

MRI with contrast is extremely safe for most patients. The gadolinium contrast agent is different from iodine-based contrast used in CT scans and rarely causes allergic reactions. Common, mild side effects may include:

  • Cool sensation at injection site
  • Metallic taste in mouth

  • Brief nausea or dizziness

After Your Exam

  • Resume normal activities immediately (unless sedated)
  • Drink plenty of fluids to help eliminate the contrast agent

  • Results available within 12-24 hours

  • Contact us immediately if you experience any unusual symptoms

Important Safety Notes:

  • Patients with severe kidney disease should consult their physician before contrast MRI

     
  • Pregnant women typically receive non-contrast MRI
     
  • Inform our staff of any previous contrast reactions or allergies

pricing for uninsured patients. Contact our office for current pricing and payment options.
