Effects of MRI Contrast Agents on Human Embryonic Lung Fibroblasts

Abstract

No toxic effects on embryonic fetal lung fibroblasts were detectable after 4 and 24 hours of incubation in 6 MRI CM and 10x to 20x conc. in our setting. Antiproliferative effects, initially detected with Magnevist, Omniscan and Multihance, were rapidly compensated for.
