| Description | GastroMARK (generic name: ferumoxsil) is Advanced Magnetics' oral gastrointestinal imaging agent used to distinguish the loops of the bowel from other abdominal structures and physiology. MRI imaging of organs and tissues in the abdomen without contrast agents is difficult because these organs and tissues cannot be easily distinguished from the loops of the bowel. When GastroMARK is ingested, it flows through and darkens the bowel. By more clearly identifying the intestinal loops, GastroMARK improves visualization of adjacent abdominal tissues such as the pancreas. |
