Purpose: Evaluation of different gastrointestinal endoluminal MR contrast materials Material and methods: Authors constructed a plastic container holding 6 plastic cups. The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of over fifteen different materials (commonly used contrast materials, juices, iron containing solutions, cocoa) was measured by T1- and T2-weighted spin-echo sequences in a 1T MR unit. The results were compared in tables and demonstrated by figures. Results: The juices containing metallic components had high signal intensity (SI) on T1-weighted images (SNR>97), while on T2-weighted images showed moderate to high…
