  Comparative Study

  Gadobenate dimeglumine (Gd-DTPA) vs gadopentetate dimeglumine (Gd-BOPTA) for contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (MRA): improvement in intravascular signal intensity and contrast to noise ratio.

  The purpose of this study was to compare contrast enhanced MR angiography (MRA) with gadopentetate dimeglumine (Gd-DTPA) to MRA with gadobenate dimeglumine (Gd-BOPTA), a high relaxivity paramagnetic contrast agent. ⋯ The greater relaxivity of Gd-BOPTA, at lower doses, compared with Gd-DTPA, provides higher intravascular signal and signal to noise ratio. Gd-BOPTA appears to be an optimal contrast agent for contrast enhanced MRA.
