In this pilot study, using a standard 40 mL gadolinium (Gd) chelate contrast dose, dual-rate (first 20 mL at 0.5 mL/sec; remaining 20 mL at 1.5 mL/sec) and fixed-rate (entire 40 mL dose at either 0.7 mL/sec or 2.0 mL/sec) injection schemes for multistation, bolus-chase magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) were compared in normal volunteers. Signal-to-noise ratio, contrast-to-noise ratio, and physician preference were determined for nine arterial segments. At the terminal station (calf), the dual-rate contrast injection improved arterial signal and contrast compared with both fixed-rate injection schemes and improved subjective vessel appearance compared with the 2.0 mL/sec, but not the 0.7 mL/sec, fixed-rate scheme.
