Intra-individual Comparison of High-Relaxivity versus Standard Macrocyclic Gadolinium Agents for Detecting Hepatic Micrometastases at 3.0 T
Introduction. Hepatic micrometastases smaller than 10 mm critically influence oncologic staging and eligibility for curative metastasectomy, yet the sub-centimetre sensitivity of standard gadolinium-enhanced MRI is limited. High-relaxivity macrocyclic gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) generate higher lesion-to-l...
