Gadobutrol Precedes Gd-DTPA in Abdominal Contrast-Enhanced MRA and MRI: A Prospective, Multicenter, Intraindividual Study
Figure 1
Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) images of a 49-year-old man. Gadobutrol-enhanced MRA images: maximum intensity projection (MIP) image (a); multiplanner reformation (MPR) image of the hepatic artery (b); left kidney artery (c); the superior mesenteric artery (d). Gd-DTPA-enhanced MRA images: MIP image (e); MPR image of the hepatic artery (f); left kidney artery (g); the superior mesenteric artery (h). The quality analyses results for large, small, and minute vessels on Gadobutrol-enhanced MRA images are 22, 7, and 5 and those on Gd-DTPA-enhanced MRA images are 20, 6, and 4, respectively.
