MRI Master is an online platform created to assist MRI radiographers in understanding scanning techniques. It’s important to note that we do not provide prescriptions for medications or advice on their use or dosage. When determining the appropriate dosage of contrast material, it is recommended to follow the guidelines established by regulatory authorities such as the FDA, EMA, and the manufacturer.

The FDA regulates the safety and effectiveness of medical devices and drugs, including contrast agents used in MRI procedures. The FDA reviews applications from manufacturers, evaluating safety and efficacy data provided. If a contrast agent meets required standards, the FDA grants approval for its use in the US.
