Abstract
Perspective. Gadodiamide injection has been used in studies in animals and humans to provide differential enhancement between infarcted and normal myocardium. It also has been used with inversion-recovery-prepared fast-gradient echo images with and without dipyridamole to demonstrate myocardial perfusion defects. These contrast-enhanced dynamic magnetic resonance (MR) imaging studies have demonstrated myocardium jeopardized by nonocclusive coronary stenosis in a canine experimental model. Gadodiamide injection also has been shown to be effective for increasing signal intensity and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) of thoracic masses.
