Comparison of 1.0 M gadobutrol and 0.5 M gadopentate dimeglumine-enhanced MRI in 471 patients with known or suspected renal lesions : results of a mu…

2008

The purpose of this phase III clinical trial was to compare two different extracellular contrast agents, 1.0 M gadobutrol and 0.5 M gadopentate dimeglumine, for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with known or suspected focal renal lesions. Using a multicenter, single-blind, interindividual, randomized study design, both contrast agents were compared in a total of 471 patients regarding their diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity to correctly classify focal lesions of the kidney. To test for noninferiority the diagnostic accuracy rates for both contrast agents were compared with CT results based on a blinded reading. The average diagnostic accuracy across the three bli…

Imaging of urinary bladder hernias

2005

Lorenzo E. Bacigalupo1, Michele Bertolotto2, Filippo Barbiera3, Pietro Pavlica4, Roberto Lagalla3, Roberto S. Pozzi Mucelli2, Lorenzo E. Derchi1 Bacigalupo LE, Bertolotte M, Barbiera F, et al. erniation of the urinary bladder is not rare. It is usually considered that 1–3% of all inguinal hernias involve the bladder [1], and Iason [2], in 1944, reported an incidence of 10% in men older than 50 years. Most bladder hernias involve the inguinal and femoral canals, with the latter more frequent in women, and a predilection for the right side has been reported. However, herniations through ischiorectal, obturator, and abdominal wall openings have also been described. Any portion of the bladder m…
