A Comparison between Gadofosveset Trisodium and Gadobenate Dimeglumine for Steady State MRA of the Thoracic Vasculature
Figure 5
Coronal source images for a (nonstudy) patient with a left sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (arrows) performed using (a) gadobenate dimeglumine and (b) gadofosveset trisodium 6 months later (at which time slightly more thrombus is seen within the aneurysm). Note the very similar overall image quality for both contrast agents, with excellent depiction of the aortic root detail. Note also some mild shading of the ascending aorta (b) that is an occasional artifact related to fat suppression.
