摘要: OBJECTIVE. We determined the enhancement features of experimentally induced malignant tumors on MR imaging with use gadolinium mesoporphyrin, a recently developed contrast agent that may be necrosis-specific.MATERIALS AND METHODS. VX2 carcinoma was inoculated into 24 rabbit thighs. T1-weighted contrast-enhanced IV gadopentetate dimeglumine (2-min delay) and mesoporphyrin (20-hr performed 3-4 days (n = 6), 6-7 10-11 5), 13-14 7) after implantation carcinoma. All were sectioned along same plane images, detailed imaging-histopathologic correlation performed.RESULTS. Pathologically, areas enhanced included necrotic tissue, viable tumor, inflammatory granulation hemorrhage, fibrosis. On dimeglumine-enhanced unenhanced tumor corresponded intratumoral necrosis hemorrhage.CONCLUSION. Gadolinium mesopo...
