[Contrast enhanced MR-angiography (CE-MRA): do contrast media with higher T1 relaxation improve imaging of carotid stenoses?]
PURPOSE: CE-MRA is a powerful tool for the non-invasive evaluation of carotid artery occlusive disease. However, due to certain drawbacks, it has not completely replaced DSA. The purpose of this study was to evaluate if Gd-BOPTA, a contrast agent with high T1 relaxivity, can increase the diagnostic...
