Comparative Study
[MR angiography of the coronary arteries: comparison of the blood pool contrast medium Gadomer and Gd-DTPA in pigs].
To investigate the signal-enhancing effects of the macromolecular contrast medium Gadomer in MR angiography of the coronary arteries compared to Gd-DTPA. ⋯ Gadomer is a suitable contrast medium for MR angiography of the coronary arteries with the dose of 0.1 mmol Gd/kg being superior to 0.05 mmol Gd/kg due to a longer imaging window.

Comparative Study Clinical Trial Controlled Clinical Trial
[Sacroiliitis in children with spondyloarthropathy: therapeutic effect of CT-Guided intra-articular corticosteroid injection].
The prospective investigation of the therapeutic effect of CT-guided intra-articular corticosteroid injection into inflammatory sacroiliac (SI) joints compared to conventional treatment with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) in children with juvenile spondyloarthropathy (jSpA) and the determination of the role of dynamic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in establishing the indication and monitoring the therapy. ⋯ CT-guided intra-articular corticosteroid injection has proven an effective, symptomatic, and uncomplicated therapy of acute sacroiliitis in patients with jSpA. Dynamic MRI has a role in establishing the indication for intervention but its role for any follow-up is restricted to cases with inconclusive clinical response.
