  • Title: Gadoxetate disodium-enhanced MRI of the liver: part 1, protocol optimization and lesion appearance in the noncirrhotic liver.
    Author: Ringe KI, Husarik DB, Sirlin CB, Merkle EM.
    Journal: AJR Am J Roentgenol; 2010 Jul; 195(1):13-28. PubMed ID: 20566794.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this article is to review the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of gadoxetate disodium (Gd-EOB-DTPA), to describe a workflow-optimized pulse sequence protocol, and to illustrate the imaging appearance of focal lesions in the noncirrhotic liver. CONCLUSION: Gd-EOB-DTPA allows a comprehensive evaluation of the liver with the acquisition of both dynamic and hepatocyte phase images. This provides potential additional information, especially for the detection and characterization of small liver lesions. However, protocol optimization is necessary for improved image quality and workflow.
