RADIOLGY ---CONTRAST

The above graph shows changing signal intensity over time in contrast agent bolus tracking.
Which curve is normal –one with down deflection (drop in signal) or one with no deflection?







ANS—
The curve with drop in signal is normal,other one reflect the ischemia.

Gadolinium passing through the capillary bed results in decreased T2 relaxation time, seen as a drop in signal intensity that then returns to normal as the contrast passes out of the capillary bed.  The normal tissue demonstrates an earlier decline in signal intensity and a greater overall decrease in signal intensity than the ischemic region.
