Effect of magnetic susceptibility contrast medium on myocardial signal intensity with fast gradient-recalled echo and spin-echo MR imaging: initial experience in humans.

Purpose: To show the effect of dysprosium diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid bis-methylamine injection on the images of normal human myocardium.

Materials And Methods: T2-sensitive fast gradient-recalled echo (GRE) (repetition time [TR], 10.8 msec; echo time [TE], 4.
