Typical MRI Procedures for Pleural Mesothelioma
- MRI with Contrast: In many cases, a contrast agent (usually gadolinium-based) is used to enhance the visibility of certain tissues and highlight abnormalities. This can help in differentiating between normal tissue and tumor growth.
- Respiratory and Cardiac Gating: Given the movement of the chest due to breathing and heartbeats, MRI scans may use gating
- techniques to minimize motion artifacts and produce clearer images.
