Are Dynamic First-pass Enhancement Properties of Gadoxetic acid (Gd-EOB-DTPA) Comparable to Gadopentetate dimeglumine (Gd-DTPA) in Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC)?

چکیده
Introduction: Gadoxetic acid (Gd-EOB-DTPA) is a recently approved contrast agent which has hybrid properties of hepatocyte specific and extracellular, enabling the evaluation of both tissue perfusion and hepatobiliary excretion. Dynamic first-pass enhancement pattern has been the key word for HCC. However, we have been familiar with that using standard Gd-chelate agents. The purpose of our study was to prospectively compare the dynamic first-pass properties of gadoxetic acid with that of standard Gd-chelate agent in the patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

The hemodynamics of a hepatocellular nodule is the most important imaging parameter used to characterize various hepatocellular nodules in liver cirrhosis, because sequential changes occur in the feeding vessels and hemodynamic status during hepatocarcinogenesis. Therefore, the imaging criteria for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are also usually based on vascular findings, eg, early arterial up...

Gadolinium ethoxybenzyl dimeglumine (Gd-EOB-DTPA, Primovist in Europe and Eovist in the USA) is a liver-specific magnetic resonance imaging contrast agent that has up to 50% hepatobiliary excretion in the normal liver. After intravenous injection, Gd-EOB-DTPA distributes into the vascular and extravascular spaces during the arterial, portal venous and late dynamic phases, and progressively into...
