Contrast enhanced renal MR angiography at 7 Tesla: How much gadolinium do we need?

Abstract:

OBJECTIVES:To investigate whether a dose reduction of Gadobutrol for renal magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) at 7 Tesla (T) is feasible while preserving diagnostic image quality. METHODS:Ten healthy volunteers were enrolled for a renal MRA on a 7T scanner. Fast low angle shot (FLASH) MRA data sets were obtained utilizing three different doses of Gadobutrol (0.1, 0.05 and 0.025mmol/kg body weight [BW]). Contrast ratios (CR) were measured in the aorta as well as in the intra- and extraparenchymal arteries compared to the psoas muscle. Qualitative analysis regarding the delineation of vessel structures was performed using a four-point-scale. RESULTS:All doses of Gadobutrol allowed for a good delineation of the aorta and renal arteries. For the extra- and intraparenchymal segmental arteries higher values were observed for full and half dose in comparison to quarter dose. No significant difference was observed for full and half dose. A lower CR was observed for quarter compared to half dose (p<0.05) for the renal arteries. CONCLUSIONS:While best results were observed for half and full dose, a dose reduction to 0.025mmol/kg BW is justifiable, maintaining a diagnostic image quality. This may be of high interest considering patients with renal impairment.
