Video from ECR 2019: Alexander Radbruch on gadolinium debate

The safety of gadolinium-based contrast agents for MRI continues to generate much controversy and discussion. As both a radiologist and a lawyer, Dr. Alexander Radbruch, JD, is well-placed to comment on the most significant recent developments in gadolinium retention in the brain, how best to use these agents, and how radiologists and manufacturers can help to avoid being sued.

The description & caption for this interview to be published online on 01.03.2019 will Philipp Ward sent directly.
