Interstitial magnetic resonance lymphography using a polymeric t1 contrast agent: initial experience with Gadomer-17.

Rationale And Objectives: The detection of lymph node metastases is an important step in tumor staging and is significant for therapy planning. Lymph node-specific contrast agents can raise the sensitivity and specificity of modern diagnostic methods. This study investigated the suitability of the dendritic contrast agent Gadomer-17 in magnetic resonance (MR) lymph node imaging and compared three different dosages in such an application.
