摘要: This study was performed to evaluate whether a triple dose of gadolinium-DTPA (Gd-DTPA) increases the sensitivity brain MRI for detecting enhancing lesions in patients with primary progressive multiple sclerosis (PPMS). T1 weighted obtained 10 PPMS two sessions. In first session, one scan five seven minutes after injection 0.1 mmol/kg Gd-DTPA (standard dose). second six 24 hours later, before and scans hour 0.3 (triple dose) were obtained. Four detected when standard used. The numbers increased 13 such used 14 delayed scans. mean contrast ratio higher than those present both (P < 0.0009) = 0.04). These data indicate that many more can be PPMS. is important planning clinical trials presence inflammation vivo patients.
