  • Title: [Nuclear magnetic resonance tomography of the orbits. Initial experiences using the paramagnetic contrast medium gadolinium-DTPA].
    Author: Markl A, Riedel KG, Oeckler R, Vogl T, Scheidhauer K.
    Journal: Digitale Bilddiagn; 1986 Dec; 6(4):151-5. PubMed ID: 3816049.
    Abstract:
    In 21 patients with orbital mass lesions MRI was performed before and after administration of paramagnetic contrast medium, Gadolinium-DTPA. In comparison to the plain scan the differentiation of the tumorous tissue against the surrounding structures was improved after application of contrast medium despite a partially moderate increase in signal intensity. Especially highly vascular tumors and vessel diseases show a significant contrast enhancement. With increasing experience in larger number of patients a tissue differentiation seems to be possible.
