Macromolecular "blood-pool" agents such as polylysine-gadopentetate dimeglumine or albumin-gadopentetate dimeglumine, which provide prolonged intravascular enhancement, were tested as magnetic resonance (MR) angiography contrast agents for the portal vein in pigs.
Phase-contrast MR angiography of the portal veins was performed on six pigs before and after intravenous administration of polylysine-gadopentetate dimeglumine (n = 3) or albumin-gadopentetate dimeglumine (n = 3).
The contrast-to-noise ratio of the portal veins was improved by 74% and 52%, respectively, using polylysine-gadopentetate dimeglumine or albumin-gadopentetate dimeglumine. More branches of the intrahepatic portal veins were visualized on postcontrast images.
Blood-pool paramagnetic contrast agents improved the visualization of hepatic vasculature using phase-contrast MR angiography in our experimental model.
高分子“血池”造影剂,如聚赖氨酸钆喷酸葡甲胺或白蛋白钆喷酸葡甲胺,可提供长时间的血管内强化,作为猪门静脉磁共振(MR)血管造影造影剂进行了测试。
对6头猪在静脉注射聚赖氨酸钆喷酸葡甲胺(n = 3)或白蛋白钆喷酸葡甲胺(n = 3)之前和之后进行门静脉的相位对比MR血管造影。
使用聚赖氨酸钆喷酸葡甲胺或白蛋白钆喷酸葡甲胺时,门静脉的对比噪声比分别提高了74%和52%。在造影后图像上可见更多肝内门静脉分支。
在我们的实验模型中,血池顺磁性造影剂使用相位对比MR血管造影改善了肝血管系统的可视化。
