PURPOSE: To evaluate the clinical and biologic safety of superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) as a contrast agent in magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and to assess its efficacy in the detection of liver metastases. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twenty adults with liver metastases underwent MR imaging at 1.5 T before and 1 hour after infusion of SPIO. Four spin-echo (SE) sequences and one gradient-echo (GRE) sequence were used. RESULTS: There were no adverse reactions. Alterations in serum protein, serum iron, transferrin, and ferritin levels and transferrin saturation coefficient were statistically significant. The mean tumor-to-liver contrast-to-noise ratio (C/N) increased markedly with all sequences. The best postcontrast tumor-to- liver contrast was obtained with the GRE sequence (repetition time msec/echo time msec = 300/15). The mean number of apparent lesions detected after administration of SPIO increased by 12 with the proton- density-weighted SE sequences (800/30 and 2,500/30), four with the T2- weighted SE sequence (2,500/90), and seven with the GRE sequence (300/15). CONCLUSION: SPIO is safe, increases tumor-to-liver C/Ns with some sequences, and improves the detection of liver metastases.
