Neuroradiology. 1990;32(5):421-38. doi: 10.1007/BF00588476.

Abstract

Contrast enhancement has now become an integral part of MR imaging. In this paper, the current uses of contrast agents in MR imaging of both the head and spine are reviewed. In addition, new applications of contrast in MR imaging, including some more current and controversial, are also explored.
