Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical TrialContrast-enhanced MR angiography of the run-off vasculature: intraindividual comparison of gadobenate dimeglumine with gadopentetate dimeglumine.
To compare intraindividually gadobenate dimeglumine (Gd-BOPTA) with gadopentetate dimeglumine (Gd-DTPA) for multi-station MR Angiography of the run-off vessels. ⋯ Greater vascular enhancement of the run-off vasculature is obtained after Gd-BOPTA, particularly in the smaller more distal vessels. Enhancement differences are not merely dose dependent, but may be due to different vascular enhancement characteristics of the agents.
