I wonder how long it will take before it's approved for use?
And what's the chemical compound of this new Gadofluorine M? If it contains Iodine many people won't be able to tolerate it due to allergic reactions to Iodine. But it is good news for advances in MRI Technology!

Thanks for posting that information.
It sounds great, but what about... ... that new blood test they said (and we limbolanders all hoped) was going to detect MS? ...that new kind of scan they said (and we limbolanders all hoped) was going to detect MS? ...that OTHER new blood test that they said (and we limbolanders...)..., etc.? I'm sure this new contrast medium will fulfill its promise of detecting early MS the way all these other things have. With about as much certainty as the long-awaited return of all those socks lost in the dryer. Nancy T. |

Well, they do have a blood test for NeuroMyelitis Optica, and when I had that test (it was negative!) the Nurse Practitioner had told me it was a new test that helped them distinguish MS from the NMO. I was glad my test came back negative, since they were thinking about diagnosing me with NMO instead of MS because I had spinal lesions and ON and no real obvious brain lesions.
