Department of Diagnostic Radiology, University Hospital, Lund, Sweden.

In a clinical study of 13 patients, gadolinium-DTPA (Gd-DTPA) was used for enhancement of soft tissue tumors at magnetic resonance imaging. Gd-enhanced T1 sequences were found to give additional information concerning tumor vascularity in 11 cases, tumor necrosis in 2 cases and tumor delineation in one case, compared with conventional T1 and T2 weighted spin echo sequences. If Gd-enhanced sequences were to be used as the only source of information, accurate assessment of tissue composition of the tumor would not have been possible. Furthermore, valuable information regarding tumor delineation towards surrounding fat may be lost.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008279 Magnetic Resonance Imaging Non-invasive method of demonstrating internal anatomy based on the principle that atomic nuclei in a strong magnetic field absorb pulses of radiofrequency energy and emit them as radiowaves which can be reconstructed into computerized images. The concept includes proton spin tomographic techniques.
