I have posted about my nightmare experience w/ MRI contrast containing gadolinium but thought I should offer up some hope or at least show that what the industry is saying ("no proof that retained gadolinium is problematic)" & what they are doing (seem to be scrambling for alternatives) are two very different things.
Definitely weary of the gas, iron,& manganese. But if I had to be poisoned, I would have preferred receiving iron or something familiar to the body with known mechanisms for removing/chelating excess.
Butterfly IQ - Affordable, pocket sized ultrasound
In the works:
Openwater wearable MRI
IQ-AI files patent for contrast free MRI
Gas vesicles provide new opportunities for MRI
Focused Ultrasound Allow Scalpel-Free Brain Surgery (2 out of 4 of my contrast injections were due to pre & post operation imaging. Something like this could dramatically reduce exposure, especially when the blood/brain barrier is compromised allowing for more metal deposition in the brain)
Reimagining MRI Contrast: Iron Outpreforms Gadolinium
Manganese-based MRI contrast agent may be safer alternative to gadolinium-based agents
