Ultrafast breast DCE-MRI: comparative analysis of semi-quantitative and pharmacokinetic parameters with gadoterate meglumine versus gadobutrol in malignant lesions and background parenchymal enhancement
In ultrafast breast DCE-MRI, Gadavist demonstrated stronger early enhancement kinetics, whereas Dotarem provided improved tumor-to-BPE contrast and higher sensitivity for select kinetic parameters. These findings underscore the importance of tailoring contrast agent selection to specific diagnostic goals.
