## Abstract ## Purpose: To measure the systematic error in perfusion and filtration parameters derived from magnetic resonance (MR) renography caused by protein binding of MR contrast agents. ## Materials and Methods: Eight healthy Danish Landrace pigs were examined with dynamic contrastβenhance

## Abstract Recently, perfusion imaging has been of increasing interest in MRI. We applied this method for semiquantitative evaluation of hepatic parenchymal portal blood flow in patients with diffuse liver damage. Twenty patients with diffuse hepatic damage were divided according to the Child's Cl
## Abstract The relationship between the administered dose __d__ of GdβDTPA and the accuracy of measurements of the glomerular filtration rate __G__ and the cardiac output __O__ was investigated. For a wide range of values the concentration of GdβDTPA can be uniquely derived from MR signals and pre
The NMR relaxivities of GQEOB-DTPA and Gd-DTPA were determined in the kidney and liver of intact male W&tar rats immediately following sacrifice and in vitro in solutions and gels, at 1.5 T using a clinical MR scanner. Tl and T2 values of tissue samples were derived from spin-echo image sequences. T
## Purpose: To investigate the characteristics of gd-dtpa-dea as a hepatobiliary contrast agent for mr imaging in comparison with those of gd-eob-dtpa. ## Materials and methods: We undertook phantom experiments to assess t1 relaxivity for gd-dtpa-dea, gd-eob-dtpa, and gd-dtpa in human plasma. for
## Abstract A noninvasive method using an inversion recovery turboβFLASH for dynamic measurement of the arterial input function represented by the bolus passage of GdβDTPA in the descending aorta is presented, and the results are compared with the input function obtained by arterial blood samples.
