In an animal model bolus kinetics and image quality after injection of 1M gadobutrol (standard and half-dose) and 0.5M gadopentetate dimeglumine (standard-dose) had been investigated in 4D-MRA at 3T and dynamic CTA. The first pass arterial peak Gd-concentrations (quantified by CTA) were higher for standard-dose compared to half-dose gadobutrol. In 4D-MRA the first pass arterial peak enhancement was comparable for both gadobutrol doses and gadopentetate dimeglumine due to peak cut-off effects at high vascular Gd concentrations. Markedly higher venous bolus peaks were found for standard-dose gadobutrol. Image quality of 4D-MRA was rated significantly higher for both doses of gadobutrol.
