Excerpt

We evaluated R1 curves, CNR and scar visualization and quantification in a dog model of myocardial infarction by CMR, using three different contrast agents: Gadopentate dimeglumine (Gd-DTPA, Magnevist), Gadobenate dimeglumine (Gd-BOPTA, MultiHance), and Gadofosveset (Ablavar). Gd-DTPA showed better characteristics for myocardial scar visualization and quantification. Gadofosveset demonstrated lower CNR and underestimation of infarct size when compared to Gd-DTPA. …
