Eovist vs. Dotarem Healthy Volunteer MRI

The purpose of this study is to evaluate changes in volunteer breath-holding capacity in response to gadoxetate disodium (Eovist) administration, compared with saline, and gadoterate dimeglumine (Dotarem). Healthy volunteers will be recruited from three study sites. These subjects will be given three, blinded, randomized injections while undergoing an MRI of their liver and holding their breath. During the scan, the subjects' oxygen saturation and heart rate will be closely monitored. Following the scan, the subjects will complete a questionnaire regarding the breath hold.

Primary outcomes

  1. Subject Breath Hold Capacity, as Measured by Number of Seconds a Subject Can Hold His/Her Breath

    Time frame: following contrast administration, up to 5 minutes

  2. Subject-reported Dyspnea, as Measured by Questionnaire Responses

    Time frame: following contrast administration, up to 5 minutes

    After each breath-hold, the MRI technologist asked the volunteer through the scanner microphone the following two questions, with responses based on a 5-point scale: A) How difficult was it to hold your breath? (1-Not at all; 5-Very difficult); B) Do you feel short of breath now? (1-Not at all; 5-Very short of breath). Responses were recorded for each breath-hold.

Secondary outcomes

  1. O2 Saturation Following Contrast Administration

    Time frame: following contrast administration, up to 5 minutes

  2. Heart Rate Following Contrast Injection

    Time frame: following contrast administration, up to 5 minutes

    Heart rate following contrast injection

  3. Percentage of Participants With Transient Severe Motion (TSM) Based on Presence of Motion Artifacts at Arterial Phase Imaging

    Time frame: following contrast administration, up to 5 minutes

    Arterial-phase breath-holding duration and motion artifacts after each agent were compared using the Mann-Whitney-U test and the McNemar test.

  4. Severity of Motion Artifacts at Arterial Phase Imaging, Measured on a 1-5 Scale

    Time frame: following contrast administration, up to 5 minutes

    • no motion artifact
    • minimal motion artifact
    • moderate motion artifact
    • severe motion artifact
    • extensive motion artifact
