Low Dose Gadobenate Dimeglumine for Imaging Of Chronic Myocardial Infarction in Comparison With Standard Dose Gadopentetate Dimeglumine

Abstract

Low dose Gd-BOPTA resulted in significantly higher CNRinf-myo compared with standard dose Gd-DTPA in imaging of myocardial infarction with IR SSFP and IR GRE sequences. Demarcation of infarcted myocardium from the left ventricular cavity assessed by CNR showed no significant difference after application of either contrast media in both imaging techniques.
