Comparison of Dynamic and Liver-Specific Gadoxetic Acid Contrast-Enhanced MRI versus Apparent Diffusion Coefficients
BACKGROUND Hepatic lesions often present diagnostic connundrums with conventional MR techniques. Hepatobiliary phase contrast-enhanced imaging with gadoxetic acid can aid in the characterization of such lesions. However, quantitative measures describing late-phase enhancement must be assessed relative to their accuracy of hepatic lesion classification. PURPOSE To compare quantitative paramete...
متن کاملThe role of MRI using liver-specific contrast agent in the assessment of focal liver lesion
Radiol Bras. 2014 Set/Out;47(5):VII–VIII In the last decade, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with the use of intravenous extracellular contrast agents (for example, Gd-DTPA and Gd-DOTA) has been recognized as the noninvasive diagnostic tool of choice in the evaluation of focal liver lesions thanks to the fact that it does not require ionizing radiation in association with its high spatial reso...
متن کاملMRI with hepatobiliary contrast
Hepatobiliary contrast agents currently are essentially gadolinium based agents (Gd-EOB-DTPA and GdBOPTA) with dual ability to perform dynamic contrast enhanced imaging similar to extracellular gadolinium contrast as well as providing hepatobiliary uptake and excretion in later phases. Hepatobiliary uptake and excretion with gadoxetic acid (Gd-EOB-DTPA) is related to OATP and cMOAT and MRP2 rec...
متن کاملValidation of 10-Minute Delayed Hepatocyte Phase Imaging with 30° Flip Angle in Gadoxetic Acid-Enhanced MRI for the Detection of Liver Metastasis
OBJECTIVES To compare 10-minute delayed hepatocyte phase imaging using a 30° flip angle (10 min-FA30) and 20-minute hepatocyte phase imaging using a 10° FA (20 min-FA10) in gadoxetic acid-enhanced MRI of patients with possible liver metastases, regarding lesion-to-liver contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) and focal hepatic lesion (FHL) detection to evaluate whether 10 min-FA30 would be superior to 20...
متن کاملRecent Advances in the Imaging Diagnosis of Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Value of Gadoxetic Acid-Enhanced MRI.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using gadolinium ethoxybenzyl diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (Gd-EOB-DPTA), or gadoxetic acid for short, is a hepatocyte-specific contrast agent which is now increasingly used for the detection and characterization of focal hepatic lesions, particularly in patients at high-risk of developing hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC). In fact, several recent guideline...
