Self-limited shortness of breath (transient dyspnea)
after the injection of gadoxetic acid is a newly
recognized adverse effect. This phenomenon is clinically
relevant because breath-hold failure can leads to image
degradation in dynamic contrast-enhanced liver MRI,
particularly in the arterial phase. However, it is not
clear whether the image degradation is only associated
with transient dyspnea. In this study we prospectively
evaluated the association between subjective transient
dyspnea, oxygen saturation, breath-hold fidelity and
image degradation.
