Background 20-40% of reperfused ST-elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI) features microvascular obstruction (MO), which confers adverse prognosis. Different CMR sequences are commonly used to detect MO: first pass perfusion (FPP), early gadolinium enhancement (EGE), and late gadolinium enhancement (LGE). FPP and EGE are more sensitive than LGE for the detection of MO. However, only MO b...

Introduction: Gadolinium based contrast agents have been reported to induce nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) in patients with impaired renal function. Skin fibrosis is a characteristic symptom while the mechanism of causing NSF is unclear. In this study, we investigated the cytotoxicty Gd(III)-based contrast agents, including Omniscan®, Mutihance® and ProHance®, to normal rat skin fibroblast...

PURPOSE Evaluate Gadoxetate Disodium enhanced dual-energy CT for visualization of perihilar cholangiocarcinoma by exploiting the hepatobiliary uptake of Gadoxetate Disodium and viewing images at the k-edge of gadolinium on the spectrum of simulated monoenergetic energies available with Dual Energy CT. MATERIAL AND METHODS In this prospective, IRB-approved study in patients with suspected chol...

The electrical and magnetic properties were measured on polycrystalline samples of niobium diselenide intercalated with gadolinium atoms. dependences the resistance temperature point to a predominantly phonon scattering mechanism for charge carriers, while concentration are determined by increasing interstitial Gd x NbSe 2 (0≤ x≤0.33) studied in range 2-350 K fields up 70 kOe. Based results stu...

Dynamical decoupling sequences detect spin system and solvent-induced decoherence contributions for nitroxides, trityl radicals gadolinium complexes in glassy water–glycerol.

Introduction: Gadolinium deposition in the human brain, especially Globus Pallidus (GP) and Dentate Nucleus (DN) has been reported after administration of linear Gadolinium-Based Contrast Agents (GBCAs). This study aims to determine whether repeated injections macrocyclic GBCA are associated with an increased Signal Intensity (SI) on T1-weighted sequences oncologic pediatric patients. Materials...
