The number of MR procedures is continuing to grow, especially on the heels of the increasing popularity of MR angiography. Overall procedure growth, however, has begun to slow compared with previous years' performance, according to Arlington Medical Resources.

Brain studies were the most popular. In the 3.4 million MR exams performed with contrast, Magnevist was the agent most frequently used.
