We sought to replace full‐dose Gd‐DTPA with safer and lower‐dose contrast agents for delayed gadolinium‐enhanced MRI of cartilage (dGEMRIC). Gd‐BOPTA has a lower intrinsic nephrogenic systemic fibrosis risk and a 2‐fold higher relaxivity at 3T; thus, the contrast agent dose may be halved, further reducing contrast agent‐dependent risks.
