Talk Title: Ferumoxytol-Enhanced MRI: A Single Center Experience in Pediatric Congenital Heart Disease & Beyond
Series: Medical Imaging Seminar Series
Abstract: Ferumoxytol is an iron oxide particle approved as an intravenous iron supplement for iron deficiency anemia in adult patients with chronic kidney disease. In this talk, I will discuss its off label use as an intravascular contrast agent and our institutional experiences of ferumoxytol enhanced high resolution 3D cine MRI for children with complex congenital heart disease. I will also discuss other potential applications of ferumoxytol enhanced MRI and the safety aspects of this agent.
