In the arterial phase of gadoxetate disodium administration for dynamic MRI, transient severe motion (TSM) sometimes occurs, making image evaluation difficult. This study was to identify risk factors for TSM in a clinical study, and confirm them and investigate the cause in an animal study.
A retrospective, single-center, observational study included patients who underwent dynamic MRI using gadoxetate disodium for the first time from April 2016 to September 2019 and free-breathing MRI was performed. Differences in clinical characteristics and laboratory tests between the presence and absence of TSM were examined. Animal experiments were conducted in 50 rats; gadoxetate disodium was injected into three sites (distal inferior vena cava (IVC), ascending aorta, and descending aorta) to identify the organ which triggers respiratory irregularities. Phosphate-buffered saline and gadopentetate dimeglumine were also injected into the distal IVC. In addition, to evaluate the effect of albumin, gadoxetate disodium was diluted with phosphate-buffered saline or 5% human serum albumin and injected into the ascending aorta. The time course of the respiratory rate was monitored and evaluated.
20 of 51 (39.2%) patients showed TSM. On multivariable analysis, a low albumin level was an independent risk factor (P = .035). Gadoxetate disodium administration caused significant tachypnea compared to gadopentetate dimeglumine or PBS (an elevation of 16.6 vs 3.0 or 4.3 breaths/min; both P < .001) in rats. The starting time of tachypnea was earlier with injection into the ascending aorta than into the descending aorta (10.3 vs 17.9 sec; P < .001) and the distal IVC (vs 15.6 sec; P < .001). With dilution with albumin instead of phosphate-buffered saline, tachypnea was delayed and suppressed (9.9 vs 13.0 sec; P < .001, 24.1 vs 17.0 breaths/min; P = .031).
A low albumin level is a risk factor for TSM, which could be caused by the effect of gadoxetate disodium on the head and neck region.
在使用钆塞酸二钠进行动态磁共振成像(MRI)的动脉期,有时会出现短暂性严重运动(TSM),这使得图像评估变得困难。本研究旨在在一项临床研究中确定TSM的危险因素,并在动物研究中对其进行确认并探究原因。
一项回顾性、单中心观察性研究纳入了2016年4月至2019年9月首次使用钆塞酸二钠进行动态MRI且进行了自由呼吸MRI的患者。检查了出现和未出现TSM的患者在临床特征和实验室检查方面的差异。对50只大鼠进行了动物实验;将钆塞酸二钠注入三个部位(下腔静脉远端、升主动脉和降主动脉)以确定引发呼吸不规则的器官。还将磷酸盐缓冲盐水和钆喷酸葡胺注入下腔静脉远端。此外,为了评估白蛋白的作用,将钆塞酸二钠用磷酸盐缓冲盐水或5%人血清白蛋白稀释后注入升主动脉。监测并评估呼吸频率的时间进程。
51例患者中有20例(39.2%)出现TSM。多变量分析显示,低白蛋白水平是一个独立危险因素(P = 0.035)。与钆喷酸葡胺或磷酸盐缓冲盐水相比,给大鼠注射钆塞酸二钠会导致明显的呼吸急促(分别升高16.6次/分钟,而钆喷酸葡胺或磷酸盐缓冲盐水为3.0次/分钟或4.3次/分钟;P均<0.001)。注入升主动脉时呼吸急促的起始时间比注入降主动脉(10.3秒对17.9秒;P < 0.001)和下腔静脉远端(对15.6秒;P < 0.001)更早。用白蛋白而非磷酸盐缓冲盐水稀释后,呼吸急促延迟且受到抑制(9.9秒对13.0秒;P < 0.001,24.1次/分钟对17.0次/分钟;P = 0.031)。
低白蛋白水平是TSM的一个危险因素,这可能是由于钆塞酸二钠对头颈部区域的作用所致。
