Optimization of gadodiamide concentration for MR arthrography at 3 T AMERICAN JOURNAL OF ROENTGENOLOGY Masi, J. N., Newitt, D., Sell, C. A., Daldrup-Link, H., Steinbach, L., Majumdar, S., Link, T. M. 2005; 184 (6): 1754-1761

Abstract

The purpose of our study was to determine the optimal concentration of a gadolinium-based contrast agent (gadodiamide) for direct MR arthrography at 3 T compared with 1.5 T in an in vitro study.Optimized concentrations of gadolinium-based contrast agents for MR arthrography are similar at 3 and 1.5 T, although a slightly greater dilution may be useful at 3 T. Signal-to-noise ratio peak levels are significantly reduced by adding an iodinated contrast agent, relatively significantly more at 3 T than at 1.5 T.
