Multicenter Study Comparative StudyDiagnosis of focal nodular hyperplasia with MRI: multicenter retrospective study comparing gadobenate dimeglumine to gadoxetate disodium.
The purpose of this article is to report the results from a multicenter retrospective MRI study comparing gadobenate dimeglumine and gadoxetate disodium for diagnosis of hepatic focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH). ⋯ These results indicate an advantage for gadobenate dimeglumine for detection of FNH at the dynamic phase and for gadoxetate disodium at the hepatobiliary phase. However, the equivalent or better qualitative lesion conspicuity coupled with the ability to obtain a comprehensive evaluation of the liver within a standard 30-minute imaging window suggests that gadoxetate disodium may be a better choice for diagnosis of FNH.
