Comparative Study
Value of magnetization transfer contrast in intracranial enhancing and nonenhancing lesions with paramagnetic contrast agents.
To evaluate normal brain structures and various brain lesions by magnetic resonance (MR) imaging with magnetization transfer (MT) under the use of paramagnetic contrast agents. ⋯ The MTC method improves conspicuity and detection of intracranial enhancing lesions with use of paramagnetic contrast agents. Although the MTC method does not replace the conventional method, it is useful for detecting small enhancing lesions and for evaluating some nonenhancing lesions.
