Reducing transient severe motion artifacts of gadoxetate disodium-enhanced MRI by oxygen inhalation: effective for pleural effusion but not ascites. Abdom Radiol (NY) 2024:10.1007/s00261-024-04465-8. [PMID: 38995402 DOI: 10.1007/s00261-024-04465-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/30/2024] [Revised: 06/12/2024] [Accepted: 06/15/2024] [Indexed: 07/13/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the efficacy of low-flow oxygen inhalation in mitigating transient severe motion (TSM) artifacts associated with gadoxetate disodium-enhanced hepatic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). METHODS Patients undergoing gadoxetate disodium-enhanced MRI were included. During the examination, the experimental group received oxygen at 2 L/min via nasal cannula, while the control group did not. Images and TSM scores were evaluated and compared across precontrast, arterial, venous, and hepatobiliary phases. Subgroup analyses were conducted based on the presence of pleural effusion or ascites. RESULTS A total of 325 patients were included. The motion scores were highest in the arterial phase and lowest in the hepatobiliary phase in both groups, but were significantly lower in the experimental group (p < 0.05). The incidence of TSM was significantly lower in the experimental group (3.29%) compared to the control group (13.29%, p = 0.01). While pleural effusion was associated with reduced image quality in both groups (p < 0.05), the image quality in the pleural effusion category was higher in the experimental group than in the control group. Oxygen inhalation showed limited efficacy in mitigating TSM related to ascites. CONCLUSIONS Low-flow oxygen inhalation can effectively reduce the occurrence of gadoxetate disodium-related TSM. Pleural effusion may impair respiratory function and contribute to TSM, which can be alleviated by oxygen supplementation. However, Oxygen inhalation is less effective under the condition of ascites.

A low albumin level as a risk factor for transient severe motion artifact induced by gadoxetate disodium administration: A retrospective observational study with free-breathing dynamic MRI and an experimental study in rats. PLoS One 2022; 17:e0265588. [PMID: 35303023 PMCID: PMC8932582 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0265588] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2020] [Accepted: 03/04/2022] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Objectives In the arterial phase of gadoxetate disodium administration for dynamic MRI, transient severe motion (TSM) sometimes occurs, making image evaluation difficult. This study was to identify risk factors for TSM in a clinical study, and confirm them and investigate the cause in an animal study. Methods A retrospective, single-center, observational study included patients who underwent dynamic MRI using gadoxetate disodium for the first time from April 2016 to September 2019 and free-breathing MRI was performed. Differences in clinical characteristics and laboratory tests between the presence and absence of TSM were examined. Animal experiments were conducted in 50 rats; gadoxetate disodium was injected into three sites (distal inferior vena cava (IVC), ascending aorta, and descending aorta) to identify the organ which triggers respiratory irregularities. Phosphate-buffered saline and gadopentetate dimeglumine were also injected into the distal IVC. In addition, to evaluate the effect of albumin, gadoxetate disodium was diluted with phosphate-buffered saline or 5% human serum albumin and injected into the ascending aorta. The time course of the respiratory rate was monitored and evaluated. Results 20 of 51 (39.2%) patients showed TSM. On multivariable analysis, a low albumin level was an independent risk factor (P = .035). Gadoxetate disodium administration caused significant tachypnea compared to gadopentetate dimeglumine or PBS (an elevation of 16.6 vs 3.0 or 4.3 breaths/min; both P < .001) in rats. The starting time of tachypnea was earlier with injection into the ascending aorta than into the descending aorta (10.3 vs 17.9 sec; P < .001) and the distal IVC (vs 15.6 sec; P < .001). With dilution with albumin instead of phosphate-buffered saline, tachypnea was delayed and suppressed (9.9 vs 13.0 sec; P < .001, 24.1 vs 17.0 breaths/min; P = .031). Conclusions A low albumin level is a risk factor for TSM, which could be caused by the effect of gadoxetate disodium on the head and neck region.

Abstract
This review focuses on the trends in contrast media (CM) research published in Acta Radiologica during the last 100 years, since the first edition in 1921. The main topics covered are the developments of iodine- and gadolinium-based CM. Other topics include manganese-based CM for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and barium for the investigation of the alimentary tract. From a historic point of view, special CM for use in cholegraphy and myelography are addressed in the review. Today, these imaging procedures are obsolete due to the development of computed tomography, MRI, and ultrasound. The historical use of radioactive thorium-based CM for angiography is also addressed. Furthermore, publications on adverse reactions to CM are reviewed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gadoxetate disodium, utilized in hepatobiliary magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, has been associated with transient respiratory motion during the arterial phase in adults. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to determine the presence and severity of this phenomenon in children imaged awake versus under general anesthesia. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective cohort study was approved by the institutional review board; informed consent was waived. One hundred thirty exams of children ≤18 years old who underwent dynamic liver MR imaging with gadoxetate disodium between October 2010 and January 2018 were reviewed. Three pediatric radiologists scored respiratory motion artifacts on all imaging phases using a 5-point Likert scale. Differences in mean motion scores were assessed with analysis of variance and Tukey's multiple comparisons test, and multivariable regression was used to identify predictors of arterial phase motion in awake patients. RESULTS One hundred thirty patients (50% [n=65] female; mean age: 9.8±3.7 years, 48.5% [n=63] awake) were included. There were significant differences in mean motion scores between phases in the awake cohort (P<0.0001) but not in the general anesthesia cohort (P=0.051). In the awake cohort, arterial phase motion score (mean: 3.52±0.83) was significantly higher than mean motion score in all other phases (P≤0.0003). There were no significant patient-specific predictors of arterial phase motion score in the awake cohort. CONCLUSION Significantly increased arterial phase respiratory motion artifact in awake children undergoing dynamic liver MR imaging with gadoxetate disodium suggests that transient respiratory motion occurs in children. General anesthesia may suppress this phenomenon.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Magnetic resonance lymphangiography (MRL) has been proven to be able to visualize pathological lymphatic networks and accompanying complications through subcutaneous injection of commonly used contrast agents. However, no comprehensive prior studies have previously been reported regarding MRL for the evaluation of upper extremity lymphedema in patients with breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL). In this study, we establish a novel MRL protocol to characterize the normal and abnormal characteristics of different clinical stages of BCRL in patients using high-spatial-resolution MRL. METHODS Fifty females with unilateral upper extremity BCRL underwent MRL. Lymphatic vessel morphology in normal and affected limbs was compared. The appearance, distribution pattern, morphologic characteristics, and maximum transversal diameter of the lymphatic vessels, dermal backflow, and regeneration of lymphatic vessels were analyzed. RESULTS Lymph fluid was retained in the subcutis of the affected limbs, and no edema was observed in the subfascial compartment. In stage 1, tortuous and dilated lymphatic vessels exhibited a beaded appearance, and their diameters were larger than those in the contralateral forearm (P < 0.05). In stage 2, the dilated lymphatic vessels exhibited larger diameters. "Dermal backflow" and tiny regenerated lymphatic vessels appeared. The thickened subcutaneous tissue showed a honeycomb pattern induced by soft tissue fibrosis and adipose hypertrophy. In stage 3, disordered and unrecognizable affected lymphatic vessels were observed with many small regenerated lymphatics and confluent dermal backflow; the tissue fibrosis was more serious. CONCLUSIONS Each stage presents different characteristics, and the deformity degree of the lymphatic network is consistent with the severity of the disease. Magnetic resonance lymphangiography could provide adequate information for clinical staging in patients with BCRL.

Modeling Gadoxetate Liver Uptake and Efflux Using Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging Enables Preclinical Quantification of Transporter Drug-Drug Interactions. Invest Radiol 2019; 53:563-570.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to model the in vivo transporter-mediated uptake and efflux of the hepatobiliary contrast agent gadoxetate in the liver. The efficacy of the proposed technique was assessed for its ability to provide quantitative insights into drug-drug interactions (DDIs), using rifampicin as inhibitor. MATERIALS AND METHODS Three groups of C57 mice were scanned twice with a dynamic gadoxetate-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging protocol, using a 3-dimensional spoiled gradient-echo sequence for approximately 72 minutes. Before the second magnetic resonance imaging session, 2 of the groups received a rifampicin dose of 20 (n = 7) or 40 (n = 7) mg/kg, respectively. Data from regions of interest in the liver were analyzed using 2 simplifications of a 2-compartment uptake and efflux model to provide estimates for the gadoxetate uptake rate (ki) into the hepatocytes and its efflux rate (kef) into the bile. Both models were assessed for goodness-of-fit in the group without rifampicin (n = 9), and the appropriate model was selected for assessing the ability to monitor DDIs in vivo. RESULTS Seven of 9 mice from the group without rifampicin were assessed for model implementation and reproducibility. A simple 3 parameter model (ki, kef, and extracellular space, vecs) adequately described the observed liver concentration time series with mean ki = 0.47 ± 0.11 min and mean kef = 0.039 ± 0.016 min. Visually, the area under the liver concentration time profile was reduced for the groups receiving rifampicin. Furthermore, tracer kinetic modeling demonstrated a significant dose-dependent decrease in the uptake (5.9- and 17.3-fold decrease for 20 mg/kg and 40 mg/kg, respectively) and efflux rates (2.2- and 7.9-fold decrease) compared with the first scan for each group. CONCLUSIONS This study presents the first in vivo implementation of a 2-compartment uptake and efflux model to monitor DDIs at the transporter-protein level, using the clinically relevant organic anion transporting polypeptide inhibitor rifampicin. The technique has the potential to be a novel alternative to other methods, allowing real-time changes in transporter DDIs to be measured directly in vivo.
