Comparison of Prohance® With Gadovist®/Gadavist™ in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the Brain

Summary

This study aims at a direct comparison between ProHance (0.1 mmol/kg) and a validated comparator Gadovist/Gadavist (0.1 mmol/kg) in a crossover intra-individual design in subjects with brain tumors to confirm the identical overall technical and diagnostic performance of the two MR contrast agents.
