The two-dimensional (2D) cine cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) technique is the reference standard for assessing cardiac function. However, one challenge with 2D cine is that the acquisition time for the whole cine stack is long and requires multiple breath holds, which may not be feasible for pediatric or ill patients. Though single breath-hold multi-slice cine may address the issue, it can only acquire low-resolution images, and hence, affect the accuracy of cardiac function assessment.

Background: Currently, noninvasive arteriography for the diagnosis of coronary artery disease is clinically limited to the computed tomography scanning, where patients have to be exposed to the radiation and risks associated with iodinated contrast. We aimed to investigate the diagnostic performance and safety of a novel ferumoxytol-enhanced coronary magnetic resonance angiography (CMRA) in patients with suspected coronary artery disease.
Methods: Thirty patients, 19 males, with a median age of 63 years old, and 17 with renal insufficiency, who were scheduled for invasive coronary angiography, were enrolled.

Purpose To evaluate if ferumoxytol can improve the detection of bone marrow metastases at diffusion-weighted (DW) MRI in pediatric and young adult patients with cancer. Materials and Methods In this secondary analysis of a prospective institutional review board-approved study (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT01542879), 26 children and young adults (age range: 2-25 years; 18 males) underwent unenhanced or ferumoxytol-enhanced whole-body DW MRI between 2015 and 2020.

Purpose To investigate ferumoxytol (FMX)-enhanced MRI as a pretreatment predictor of response to liposomal irinotecan (nal-IRI) for thoracoabdominal and brain metastases in women with metastatic breast cancer (mBC). Materials and Methods In this phase 1 expansion trial (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier, NCT01770353; 27 participants), 49 thoracoabdominal (19 participants; mean age, 48 years ± 11 [SD]) and 19 brain (seven participants; mean age, 54 years ± 8) metastases were analyzed on MR images acquired before, 1-4 hours after, and 16-24 hours after FMX administration.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second-leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide and resection of CRC metastases confined to the liver is the treatment of choice when feasible. Ferumoxytol is an off-label contrast agent that opacifies vasculature and may be helpful in distinguishing metastases from small hemangiomas and blood vessels on gadoxetic acid-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Purpose: To compare the diagnostic accuracy of MRI using a standard gadoxetic acid protocol and a combined gadoxetic acid/ferumoxytol protocol in patients with suspected colorectal hepatic metastases.
