Amen!

I have seen an alarming number of talks where someone proposes to algorithmically add Gado contrast or turn a T1 into a T2 image. In a few very specific contexts, this makes sense (e.g., aligning a T1 taken in one session with a T2 taken in another). Otherwise though, it seems dangerous to mistake a "real" image with the expected image given another one.

If reducing gadolinium dose is the aim, a more prompt following of the literature, radiologist request (rather than surgeon demand) and weight based dosing would drastically reduce dosage. A moaning radiographer, what a surprise!
