Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a cornerstone of diagnostic imaging, and the effective use of contrast agents is essential to maximizing its diagnostic potential. This session will provide a practical overview of gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs), focusing on their fundamental properties and how they enhance image quality. Attendees will review the principles of T1 and T2 relaxation and examine differences in MR image contrast. The presentation will explore the clinical value of high-relaxivity contrast agents and their expanding role. The session will conclude with a review of the next-generation GBCA from Guerbet, designed to deliver high-quality images at half the conventional gadolinium dose.

In this engaging webinar, we will explore the trends driving the growing adoption of mobile imaging across various modalities. Learn how strategic uses of mobile solutions are expanding patient access by addressing backlogs, expanding service lines, reducing wait times, and improving patient experiences. We'll also delve into key considerations when evaluating investing in a mobile imaging program. This webinar is essential for healthcare professionals looking to stay ahead of industry trends and enhance their imaging services.

Join us for a comprehensive presentation that explores strategic evaluation techniques for both medical devices and pharmaceuticals within the diagnostic imaging space. This session will guide participants through essential evaluation criteria such as demonstrated quality, supply chain reliability, competitive pricing, and clinical efficacy. A special focus will be placed on conducting a straightforward risk-benefit analysis. Using vascular injector syringes as a case study, the presentation will also introduce a financial assessment tool to aid in making economically sound decisions by evaluating costs and benefits. This approach aims to equip healthcare decision-makers with the tools necessary for optimizing both patient outcomes and operational efficiency.
