Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Experimental
GDF-MRI
In this pilot study, all included patients will undergo conventional MRI with contrast enhancement (gadofosveset trisodium) and diffusion weighted MRI. Ablavar™ solution contains 244 mg/mL (0.25 mmol/mL) gadofosveset trisodium. 0.03 mmol/kg of gadofosveset will be administered by manual injection as a single intravenous bolus injection over a period of time up to 30 seconds followed by a 25-30 ml saline flush. In practice, this comes down to the maximum of one vial for one patient (one vial contains 10 ml solution, which contains a total of 2.50 mmol of gadofosveset trisodium equivalent to 2.27 g of gadofosveset).
