WHAT IS IN THIS LEAFLET?
This leaflet answers some common questions about ProHance

.
It does not contain all the available information.
It does not take the place of talking with your radiologist, your
doctor or your pharmacist.
All products of this type have risks and benefits. Your radiologist
and your doctor have weighed
the risk of you being given ProHance

against the benefits they expect it will have for you.
IF YOU HAVE ANY CONCERNS ABOUT BEING GIVEN THIS PREPARATION, ASK YOUR
RADIOLOGIST, DOCTOR
OR PHARMACIST.

WHAT PROHANCE
IS USED FOR AND HOW IT WORKS
Prohance
®
is a substance known as a paramagnetic contrast medium. It is used in
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to
enhance or improve the scans or images (pictures) of certain parts of
the body (in particular, the brain, spine and
surrounding tissue), obtained by MRI alone.
ProHance
®
can also be used for whole body MRI, including the head, neck, liver,
breast, musculoskeletal system (all of
the muscles, bones, joints and related structures that are involved in
the movement of the parts and organs of the body)
and diseases of the soft tissues.
ProHance
®
is given by injection into a vein. ProHance
®
is not recommended for use in children under the age of 2 years as
there is not enough experience with the use of ProHance
®
in this group. MRI is a relatively new medical technology which
uses magnetic fields and radio waves to produce images of parts of the
body, which a doctor can then use to make a
diagnosis. MRI examinations are carried out specialist doctors called
radiologists, using sophisticated medical
equipment. MRI does not use X-rays and therefore the minor risks
associated with X-rays are avoided.
