Gadolinium diskography.
Gadolinium can be used to perform diskography in patients with a documented allergy to iodinated contrast material. MR images can be obtained in multiple planes with excellent delineation of disk architecture. Dilute gadolinium leaves the disk space within a few days of injection.
