Biliary Peritonitis after Radiofrequency Ablation Diagnosed by Gadoxetic Acid-Enhanced MR Imaging
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study describes the first case of biliary peritonitis after radiofrequency ablation diagnosed by magnetic resonance (MR) imaging with gadolinium ethoxybenzyl diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (Gd-EOB-DTPA), a hepatocyte-specific MR imaging contrast agent. The image acquired 300 minutes after the administration of Gd-EOB-DTPA was useful to make a definite diagnosis and to identify the pathway of bile leakage. It is important to decide on the acquisition timing with consideration of the predicted location of bile duct injury.

Gadolinium-ethoxybenzyl-diethylene triamine penta-acetic acid (Gd-EOB-DTPA), which is marketed as Eovist® (gadoxetic acid disodium), is a new hepatobiliary imaging agent that was approved for clinical use by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2008. Gadoxetic acid is specifically taken up by hepatocytes using the same molecular mechanism as bile acid. It is eliminated from the body in equa...

Introduction T1-weighted (T1W) hyperintense nodules against a background of cirrhosis are diagnostically challenging in clinical practice. Differentiation of T1W hyperintense nodule into benign or malignant nodule is a challenging task without histopathological examination in patient with cirrhotic liver. Since hepatic resection or transplantation is the most effective treatment for HCC if the ...

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...
