Fig. 6From: Comparison of gadolinium-based contrast agents for MR cholangiography in saline, blood and bile: a phantom studySignal intensities of gadoterate, gadobenate, and gadoxetate in saline and biological fluids on T2-weighted TSE and fluid-attenuated (FLAIR) sequence. Signal intensities of gadoterate, gadobenate, and gadoxetate at different concentrations in saline (a), blood (b), and bile (c) on T2-weighted turbo spin-echo MRI. Signal intensities of gadoterate, gadobenate, and gadoxetate at different concentrations in saline (d), blood (e), and bile (f) on FLAIR sequence. * = significantly higher maximum signal intensity of the contrast agent than both other contrast agents; + = significantly higher maximum signal intensity than the contrast agent with the lowest maximum signal intensity. * or + = p < 0.050, ** or + + = p < 0.010; *** or + + + = p < 0.001Back to article page
