Myocardial Perfusion MRI

Multicenter, Double Blind, Randomized Dose Finding Study in Myocardial Perfusion MRI With Gadavist®1.0

The object of this study is to compare four different dosages of Gadavist 1.0 in cardiac Magnetic Resonance Tomography (MRT) imaging with the imaging results of a cardiac SPECT examination in terms of diagnostic quality.

For this purpose Gadavist dosages of 0.01 mmol/kg, 0.025 mmol/kg, 0.05 mmol/kg or 0.1mmol/kg body weight are administered. A study participant receives the respective dose twice i.e. at rest and at stress using Adenosine (which puts circulation into a state of stress similar to that of physical exercise). The time between both injections is 10-15 min.

The total imaging time is about 45 min.
