Bile excretion with Gd-EOB-DTPA
I was always skeptical of these new testing methods and now I have been proven correct.
In recent studies, bile excretion has been a closely contested topic, due to the use of Gd-EOB-DTPA. It assesses the accumulation patterns but doesn't clearly show the hypatoxicity of the actualy acid. It's not clear whether it's an acidic or a basic response to the actual diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid, but there is a frequency of T1 hyperintense in the bladder. This points to toxicity of actual therapy involved.<link>http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25580112</link>In this study:MR cholangiography obtained with Gd-EOB-DTPA showed that there may be an association between the biliary accumulation pattern in the gallbladder and the pathological condition
Thanks guys,
