Comparative StudyHalf-dose gadolinium-enhanced MR imaging with magnetization transfer technique in brain tumors: comparison with conventional contrast-enhanced MR imaging.
The purpose of this study was to determine whether half-dose enhanced MR imaging with magnetization transfer (MT) saturation can replace standard-dose enhanced MR imaging without MT saturation in patients who have brain tumors. ⋯ Because half-dose enhanced MR imaging with MT yields enhancement comparable with that of standard-dose enhanced conventional MR imaging in less than 50% of cases, the former technique would replace the latter in only limited cases such as selected extraaxial tumors.
