USPIO-enhanced MRI of pelvic lymph nodes at 7-T: preliminary experience

ConclusionUSPIO-enhanced MRI of the pelvis at 7-T is technically feasible and offers opportunities for detecting USPIO uptake in normal-sized LNs, due to its high intrinsic signal-to-noise ratio and spatial resolution.Key Points• USPIO-enhanced MRI at 7-T can indicate USPIO uptake in lymph nodes based on computed TE images.• Our method promises a high spatial resolution for pelvic lymph node imaging.
