Abstract: | Because full vials of commercially available MR arthrographic contrast are expensive, we hypothesized that the small residual contrast in a "used" vial would be adequate for MR arthrography. After sterility testing and quantity analysis of the residual contrast in 28 vials, this method was successfully used in 10 patients. J. Magn. Reson. Imaging 2000;12:953-955. |
