MP39-10 NOVEL CONTRAST MIXTURE ACHIEVES CONTRAST RESOLUTION OF HUMAN BLADDER WALL SUITABLE FOR T1 MAPPING: APPLICATIONS IN INTERSTITIAL CYSTITIS (IC) AND BEYOND

Purpose Instillation of novel contrast mixture (NCM) was recently shown to improve the contrast resolution of rat bladder wall with high contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR). Here, the clinical safety and the feasibility of NCM-enhanced MRI to achieve artifact-free visualization of human bladder wall suitable for quantitative measurement of the magnetic resonance (MR) longitudinal relaxation time (T1) was assessed.
