Omniscan Distribution Rate
I was told by the GE rep that Omniscan has a faster distribution rate, that should lend itself to better images/application to specific technologies. Is this claim valid? This is the first I've heard of this type "spin" on contrast agents. <pun intended>

In my experience, I have not seen much difference in image quality from various contrast agents. Any thoughts or experiences are appreciated.

 I do not doubt that there are small and may be in special cases (perfusion, MRA, etc.) useful differences.
However, I have a lot of practice in MRI and in my opinion, you are right, the differences are small and you can run every type of MRI scans with all conventional Gadolinium containing contrast agents.

Just in terms of allocation of time resources, religion is not very efficient. There's a lot more I could be doing on a Sunday morning.
