Non-invasive detection of biliary leaks using Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced MR cholangiography: comparison with T2-weighted MR cholangiography

The Impact of Gd-Eob-Dtpa-Enhanced MR Cholangiography in Biliary Diseases: Comparison with T2-Weighted MR Cholangiopancreatography.

BACKGROUND Contrast enhanced magnetic resonance cholangiography is a novel technique and promising method in demonstrating biliary tree anatomy and evaluating biliary disorders. However, to date, there are a limited number of studies that have focused on the impact of this technique. AIMS We aimed to evaluate the additional role of contrast enhanced MR cholangiography (MRC) and compare contra...

Ischemic-type biliary lesions following liver transplantation: Evaluation with Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced MR cholangiography

MR Cholangiography with Gd-EOB-DTPA: Biliary Enhancement Dynamics in Clinical Patients

Purpose: Gd-EOB-DTPA is a liver-specific MR imaging contrast agent that is taken up by hepatocytes and excreted into the biliary system. MR cholangiography can be obtained by means of three-dimensional T1-weighted imaging at the optimal scan delay after the injection of Gd-EOB-DTPA (1). The aim of the present study was to evaluate the biliary enhancement dynamics of Gd-EOB-DTPA at MR cholangiog...

Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance cholangiography with Gd-BOPTA and Gd-EOB-DTPA in healthy subjects.

PURPOSE To evaluate the biliary enhancement dynamics of the two gadolinium chelates Gd-BOPTA (MultiHance) and Gd-EOB-DTPA (Primovist) in normal healthy subjects. MATERIAL AND METHODS Ten healthy volunteers were evaluated with both agents by magnetic resonance (MR) imaging at 1.5T using a breath-hold gradient-echo T1-weighted VIBE sequence. The relative signal intensity (SI) differences betwee...

Comparison of Different Magnetic Resonance Cholangiography Techniques in Living Liver Donors Including Gd-EOB-DTPA Enhanced T1-Weighted Sequences

OBJECTIVES Preoperative evaluation of potential living liver donors (PLLDs) includes the assessment of the biliary anatomy to avoid postoperative complications. Aim of this study was to compare T2-weighted (T2w) and Gd-EOB-DTPA enhanced T1-weighted (T1w) magnetic resonance cholangiography (MRC) techniques in the evaluation of PLLDs. MATERIALS AND METHODS 30 PLLDs underwent MRC on a 1.5 T Magn...
