Fusion42 · 9 September 2026 · Fusion42 review

Josef Vymazal, MD, highlights that MRI contrast agents vary significantly in relaxivity, impacting their effectiveness in detecting small brain metastases. His research focuses on gadopiclenol, a high-relaxivity agent approved at half the typical dose, which enhances detection of small lesions compared to weaker agents.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Medtech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You must choose contrast agents with the highest relaxivity to reliably detect small brain metastases. Lower relaxivity agents risk missing critical lesions, so prioritise gadopiclenol if your medtech product supports enhanced diagnostic accuracy for neuro-oncology.
