MRI Manufacturers that use Gadolinium

The following manufacturers and/or MRI brands are known to use gadolinium as a contrast agent for MRI scans:

GE Health Care
Tyco Health Care
Bayer Healthcare
Berlex Laboratories
Bracco Diagnostics
Magnevist

Gadolinium, when used as a contrast agent dye for MRI scans, appears to be associated with a condition known as Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis (NSF) in MRI patients with malfunctioning kidneys.

If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with NSF (or a related condition known as NFD), you may have a defective product claim against one of the above manufacturers. For more information or for a free consultation to evaluate your NSF – Gadolinium claim, please contact Burg Simpson Eldredge Hirsch & Jardine, P.C. Burg Simpson represents NSF victims nationwide and will handle your NSF lawsuit on a contingent fee basis, which means you don’t pay any attorneys’ fees unless you recover a settlement or award.
