I'm scheduled for an MRI with contrast soon and my doctor recommended Gadavist. I'm a bit nervous about the side effects, especially the serious ones. Has anyone had experience with this? How did it go? Did you have any side effects? I know the serious ones are rare, but it's still scary. Any tips or advice would be appreciated! Also, I've heard about something called NSF (Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis) related to these contrast agents. Is that something I should be worried about? I have no known kidney issues.
