Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis (NSF) have risen in the past eight months due to use of gadolinium-based contrast agents.  Gadolinium-based contrast agents are often time used to assist in developing clear magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) films.  This contrast agent is commonly used in a mylogram or discogram type of MRI, where the patient is admitted into the hospital, and a contrast agent, or dye is injected into the spine to create a much clearer image than a traditional, non-contrast, MRI. 

Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis can also cause scarring and fibrosis of the skin and internal organs, resulting in very serious personal injuries that require aggressive medical treatment and medications, up to and including extended hospitalization.  So what manufacturers produce Gadolinium-based contrast agents?  The most common at General Electric (GE), Bayer, Bracco and Tyco/Malinckrodt (aka Covidien).   The majority of the Gadolinium injury claims have been filed against General Electric for their product "Omniscan."  Do you have a Gadolinium Injury Claim?
