Magnetic resonance angiography with gadomer-17. An animal study original investigation.

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES
Our purpose was to investigate a "blood pool" contrast agent for abdominal and thoracic MR angiography by comparison with standard ionic and nonionic gadolinium-based contrast agents, which redistribute into the extracellular fluid compartment.


METHODS
Abdominal and thoracic MR angiography was performed in three adult dogs using a three-dimensional spoiled gradient echo pulse sequence before and after intravenous administration of one of three gadolinium-based contrast agents (gadopentetate dimeglumine, gadobutrol, and gadomer-17). Each compound was tested at five different doses in all three dogs. Quantitative analysis of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) was performed in the aorta, inferior vena cava (IVC), liver, spleen, kidney (medulla and cortex), fat, and muscle.


RESULTS
Gadomer-17 improved visualization of vascular anatomy at doses of 0.025, 0.05, 0.1, and 0.2 mmol/kg with three-fold greater aorta SNR during the arterial phase and more than four-fold greater aorta and IVC SNR during the equilibrium phase, in comparison with gadopentetate dimeglumine and gadobutrol at equal doses.


CONCLUSIONS
Gadomer-17 is a promising contrast agent for both arterial phase and equilibrium phase MR angiography.
