Purpose: To determine the incidence and associated risk factors of nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) in patients who undergo gadolinium-based contrast agent (GBCA)-enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) imaging.Materials and Methods: Institutional review board approval was obtained for retrospective review of the medical records from two hospitals to identify all cases of biopsy-confirmed NSF and all patients administered a GBCA from January 1, 1997, to June 30, 2007. Informed patient consent was not required. The incidence of NSF was calculated for patients who received a standard dose of GBCA, patients who received a high dose, and subgroups of patients with renal impairment.Results: Fifteen patients developed NSF after gadolinium-enhanced MR imaging. All of them had an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) lower than 30 mL/ min, and 11 had acute renal failure or acute deterioration of chronic renal failure. The incidence of NSF after gadolinium-enhanced MR imaging without screening for renal function was zero of 74 124 patients with the standard dose of GBCA and 15 (0.17%) of 8997 patients with the high dose (P
