How sensitive are Gadolinium Contrast MRIs for evaluating Blood Brain Barrier integrity? [mri]

By

I had a brain MRI recently and was curious about this.

What I was told was that if the blood brain barrier is intact, then no contrast media should get through and so no contrast should be seen on your Brain MRI.

What about if your BBB is damaged or not in good condition? Does a contrast MRI only detect when the BBB is majorly leaking?

Do rad techs/sonographers deal with vomit often?

By
Hi there! I’m currently considering going to school to be a rad tech or sonographer but I’m struggling to find out if you guys deal with vomit a lot. I am emetophobic (phobia of vomit) and, while I think I’d like these jobs a lot, it does worry me to think about having to deal with it often. Thank you for your help! submitted by /u/pootscoot1 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/p5y0aa/do_rad_techssonographers_deal_with_vomit_often/
