Effect of hepatobiliary uptake of Gd-EOB-DTPA on the hepatic venous phase of dynamic magnetic resonance imaging on a 3.0-T apparatus: comparison between Gd-EOB-DTPA and Gd-DTPA.

Purpose We aimed to reveal the difference in contrast enhancement of the abdominal organs and major vessels on dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCM-MRI) using gadoxetic sodium (Gd-EOB-DTPA) and gadopentetate dimeglumine (Gd-DTPA) in the same patients.
