Magnetic resonance imaging of the pancreas in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats: Gadofluorine P and Gd-DOTA

Figure 6 T1-weighted image magnetic resonance imaging obtained 3 min after Gd-DOTA injection and 30 min after Gadofluorine P injection and a diabetic rat (D) revealed the pancreas of a control rat (A), a diabetic rat (B), a control rat (C) and a diabetic rat (D), respectively. The normalized SI and ER were as follows: a control vs a diabetic rat, 158.2 vs 153.2 and 14.7 vs 4.9, respectively. The normalized SI and ER were as follows: a control versus a diabetic rat, 212.5 vs 295.6 and 54.1 vs 102.3, respectively. The area of the pancreas is outlined with a red dotted line. MRI: Magnetic resonance imaging; SI: Signal intensity; ER: Enhancement ratio.
