An evaluation was done of the effect of gadolinium diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA) on computed tomographic (CT) studies performed after magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. CT scans of two solutions of Gd-DTPA demonstrated substantial attenuation. In two patients who underwent CT after Gd-DTPA-enhanced MR imaging, the high attenuation of concentrated Gd-DTPA was seen in the urinary bladder and renal collecting system. However, in the concentration presently used in MR imaging, Gd-DTPA results in only minor enhancement of renal cortex.
