In a preliminary report of a clinical trial of gadolinium-DTPA (Gd-DTPA) for enhancement of soft tissue tumors in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), experience of the first five cases is presented. Enhancement was found to give better delineation of the tumor in richly vascularized parts of the tumors, compressed tissue immediately surrounding the tumor, and in atrophic, but richly vascularized, muscle.

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.
