Measurement of the Distribution Volume of Gadopentetate Dimeglumine at Echo-planar MR Imaging to Quantify Myocardial Infarction: Comparison with99mTc-DTPA Autoradiography in Rats

Abstract: The fractional distribution volumes of gadopentetate dimeglumine and 99mTc-DTPA are similar and indicate extracellular distribution in normal myocardium and intracellular as well as extracellular distribution in reperfused infarction. Because the failure of cells to exclude these agents is indicative of necrosis, contrast medium-enhanced MR imaging may be useful to quantify myocardial infarction.

“…a: Longitudinal magnetization recovery curves for the case in which the CA has access to the injured myocardium. This region is enhanced due to a larger distribution volume for CA (4,5,7,13). b: Longitudinal magnetization recovery curves for the case in which the CA does not have access to the injured myocardium (as in the present study).…”

“…This region is enhanced due to a larger distribution volume of the CA (4,5,7,13), and therefore a relatively higher relaxation rate, compared to blood and viable perfused myocardium. However, if no CA enters the injured myocardium, the T 1 relaxation curves have a different appearance (Fig.…”

“…A commercially available extracellular gadolinium-based contrast agent (gadoteric acid, Gd-DOTA, Guerbet, Gothia Medical AB, Billdal, Sweden) was administered intravenously (0.2 mmol/kg) 30 ± 9 (SD) minutes before image acquisition. DE-MRI using the IR-GRE sequence utilizes an increase in regional fractional distribution of extracellular MRI contrast media within the injured area to achieve contrast between infarcted and non-infarcted myocardium (17)(18)(19)(20). The inversion time (TI) was adjusted to null the signal from the non-infarcted myocardium.…”
