Forty healthy volunteers, matched for age and body weight, underwent abdominal magnetic resonance angiography with gadopentetate dimeglumine administered by using a power injector. Injection rates were 0.3, 1.0, 2.0, or 3.0 mL/sec. Contrast material doses were 0.1 (single dose) or 0.2 (double dose) mmol/kg. Increased contrast enhancement in the aorta and minimum arteriovenous overlap can be achieved with high flow rate and double-dose injection.
