Sensitivity of immediate and delayed gadolinium-enhanced MRI after injection of 0.5 m and 1.0 m gadolinium chelates for detecting multiple sclerosis lesions

Abstract

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of our study was to compare the efficacy of cranial MR images obtained immediately after, 5 minutes after, and 10 minutes after the injection of 0.5-mol/L (Magnevist) and 1.0-mol/L (Gadovist) gadolinium chelates in the detection of active multiple sclerosis (MS) lesions.
