Abstract
Introduction Recently, higher relaxivity contrasts agents have been advocated for use in infarct imaging. Specifically, MultiHance® (gadobenate dimeglumine) has higher relaxivities (r1 and r2, 9.71 and 12.51) compared to standard Magnevist (gadopentetate dimeglumine) (r1 and r2, 4.91 and 6.31). Will this higher relaxivity show better visualization of subendocardial infarcts or hinder the visualization?
