NOVA(R) Renal: A safe alternative to contrast enhanced MRA/MRI

Radiology News
VasSol's introduction of NOVA(R) Renal, a gadolinium-free procedure, offers a safe alternative to the standard contrast-enhanced MRA and MRI scans for patients suffering from renal disease.

VasSol's introduction of NOVA(R) Renal, a gadolinium-free procedure, offers a safe alternative to the standard contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans for patients suffering from renal disease. Contrast enhanced renal MRA/MRI has traditionally required the injection of a gadolinium based agent which the FDA has linked to the occurrence of a potentially life-threatening disease, nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF). NOVA(R) Renal provides a comprehensive evaluation of the renal arteries without contrast or ionizing radiation.

Who's at risk?

According to a report by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), one in six individuals have kidney disease, threatening their renal function and putting them at greater risk when receiving a gadolinium-enhanced MRI scan.

About NOVA(R)

NOVA(R) is the first commercially available technology to measure actual blood flow rates in individual vessels using MRA/MRI scanners. The technology provides 3-D visualization of blood vessels, as well as quantitative blood flow measurements. NOVA(R) adds a new element to the traditional MRA/MRI scan by merging hemodynamic assessment with anatomic images. Non-invasive blood flow measurements with NOVA(R) provide clinicians with more information for the diagnosis and treatment of vascular disease.
