This research aims to investigate whether symptoms of chest pain or shortness of breath among the study population are arising due to a heart problem, particularly any reduction of blood flow to the heart muscle from blockages in the coronary blood vessels or inflammation of the heart using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging that measures the amount of blood flow during a stress state meant to simulate vigorous exercise. At present, doctors use standard magnetic resonance imaging pictures of blood flow patterns to treat heart disease. The investigators want to study if detailed blood flow measurements, in addition to the standard blood flow pattern, could diagnose heart disease more accurately and allow more doctors to understand the severity of heart disease. Early research has demonstrated that detailed blood flow measurements may be more accurate in diagnosing heart disease in some patients, but doctors need more information to know how to use these measurements.

A Multicenter, Randomized, Prospective Double-blind, Cross-over Phase 3 Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of 0.04 mmol Gd/kg Body Weight of Gadoquatrane for MRI in Adults With Known or Suspected Pathology of Any Body Region (Except CNS), Compared to 0.1 mmol Gd/kg Approved Macrocyclic Gadolinium-based Contrast Agents (GBCAs)

Researchers are looking for a better way to help people with any known or suspected problems (except brain or spinal cord-related problems) scheduled for a "contrast-enhanced" Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).
MRI is used by doctors to create detailed images of the inside of the body to identify health problems. Sometimes doctors need to inject contrast agent into a patient's vein to perform a so called "contrast-enhanced" MRI (CE-MRI). Such CE-MRI examinations may support doctors to identify certain health problems or improve the evaluation.
The contrast agents commonly used in MRI are gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs). GBCAs contain a "rare earth" element called gadolinium (Gd). Gadoquatrane is a new contrast agent under development with a lower amount of Gd needed per CE-MRI.
The main purpose of this study is to learn whether CE-MRI scans with gadoquatrane work better than MRI scans without the use of a contrast agent (GBCA). The researchers will compare the ability to detect known or suspected problems (except brain or spinal cord-related problems) with gadoquatrane-MRI scans to plain-MRI scans without the use of a contrast agent.
The participants will undergo 2 MRI scans, one with gadoquatrane and one with currently used GBCA. Both contrast agents will be injected into the vein.
Each participant will be in the study for between 6 and 42 days with up to 7 doctor visits.
At the start or during the study, the doctors and their study team will:
* take blood and urine samples
* do physical examinations
* check blood pressure and heart rate
* review the MRI scans obtained in the study and decide on the diagnosis
* ask the participants questions about how they are feeling and what adverse events they are having.
An adverse event is any medical problem that a participant has during a study. Doctors keep track of all adverse events, irrespective if they think it is related or not to the study treatments.

Development of estimation method for T1 and T2 values using the relaxivity of contrast agent and coagulant for a magnetic resonance imaging phantom

Article

The T₁ and T₂ values of magnetic resonance imaging phantoms used by researchers should be equivalent to those of the target tissue. However, this is difficult to achieve because of variations in the phantoms depending on the type and concentration of contrast agents and coagulants. The aim of this study was to elucidate the utility of a determination equation derived using the relaxivity of the contrast agent and coagulant. We prepared phantoms using 0.05-10 mmol L^-1 contrast agent (Gadovist^®; Bayer Yakuhin, Ltd., Osaka, Japan) and 0.1-5.0 wt% agar (agar, powder [010-15815]; Fujifilm Wako Pure Chemical Corporation, Osaka, Japan) and measured their T₁ and T₂ values. Determination equations for T₁ and T₂ values were derived using the relaxivity calculated from the T₁ and T₂ values of the contrast agent and coagulant. Subsequently, the determined values were compared with the measured values. The error rate of the determined T₁ and T₂ values were 7.66 ± 6.60% and 5.66 ± 4.05%, respectively, with correlation coefficients of 0.996 and 0.999. These results indicate that this method enables easy and highly accurate estimation of T₁ and T₂ values in MRI phantoms.

Gadolinium Deposition in the Rat Brain after Repeated Administration of the Liver-Specific Gadolinium-Based Contrast Agent Gadoxetic Acid

Article

Author: Zhu, Kai ; Xu, Yikai

Background::

Studies on gadolinium deposition have recently been reported.

Objective::

The objective of this study was to investigate whether there is an increased magnetic resonance signal intensity (SI) of the dentate nucleus (DCN) and quantification of gadolinium (Gd) brain concentrations by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) test in rats who had undergone multiple administrations of gadoxetic acid and gadobutrol.

Materials and Methods::

Sprague–Dawley rats (24) were equally divided into three groups. Eight animals per group received 20 intravenous injections of gadoxetic acid (0.15 mmol/kg) and gadobutrol (0.6 mmol/kg) per injection. MRI was performed at 0, 5, and 20 weeks. Subsequently, all animals were euthanized and their brains were dissected for Gd quantification by ICP-MS.

Results::

ICP-MS revealed higher Gd content in cerebellum tissue after administration of gadoxetic acid compared to gadobutrol (P < 0.05). The mean Gd concentrations in the cerebellum were 0.48 nmol/g gadoxetic acid and 0.26 nmol/g gadobutrol after intravenous administration. No visually evident enhancement was found after administration of gadoxetic acid, gadobutrol, or saline at any time point. The DCN-to-pons SI ratios for gadoxetic acid and gadobutrol were not different from the saline control group (P > 0.05, saline vs. gadoxetic acid and saline vs. gadobutrol, respectively).

Conclusions::

Our results demonstrated that gadolinium concentrations in the cerebellum after intravenous gadoxetic acid administration were higher than for gadobutrol. Multiple administrations of gadoxetic acid disodium are not associated with increased SI in DCN.

A review of gadolinium-based contrast agents in the setting of repeated MRI for high risk breast cancer screening

Review

Author: Reichman, Melissa ; Foshag, Kelcie ; Prince, Martin ; Tsiouris, Apostolos John

Women who are considered high risk for breast cancer are recommended to undergo supplemental breast cancer screening annually with MRI. There are primarily three safety concerns associated with gadolinium-based contrast agents which include allergic reactions, nephrogenic systemic fibrosis and gadolinium deposition. In this review, we discuss how these risks are affected by molecular structure, will specifically review the difference between the two commonly used agents, gadobutrol and gadoterate, and discuss the most recent FDA approved contrast agent on the market, gadopiclenol.
