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

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?

AI for radiology - A survey

Hello folks! We are a group of students from Karolinska Institutet and Stockholm University (Sweden). We are conducting a short survey (it should not take more than 10 minutes of your time) to evaluate an Artificial Intelligence framework for evaluating medical imaging and, in particular, the effect that explainability can have on clinicians' attitudes toward it. We welcome anyone who interacts with medical imaging to take our survey, so please, feel free to do it even if you are still a student or an intern! If you know someone who works in the field, please, pass them the survey. It would help us greatly. https://bit.ly/RTEX_survey Thanks in advance to all of you! submitted by /u/francozzz [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/r2ratp/ai_for_radiology_a_survey/
