I believe the purpose of contrast is to show more detail in the
pictures. Our MS posters often get their brain MRIs with contrast.

But without contrast is safer for the patients, since the visualizing
agents can be toxic to some people.

If something is found iffy...on a contrast free test, then the option to redo with contrast may be offered.
