Active Ingredient: Gadoteridol
Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), gadoteridol provides contrast enhancement of the brain, spine and surrounding tissues resulting in improved visualization (compared with unenhanced MRI) of lesions with abnormal vascularity or those thought to cause a disruption of the normal blood-brain barrier.
Gadoteridol can also be used for whole body MRI including the head, neck, liver, breast, muscoloskeletal system and soft tissue pathologies.
For this indication, competent medicine agencies globally authorize below treatments:
Intravenous
0.1 - 0.3 mmol per kg of body weight
From 0.1 To 0.3 mmol per kg of body weight once every day
The recommended dose of gadoteridol for imaging most brain and spinal pathologies is 0.1 mmol/kg. However, doses of 0.3 mmol/kg have been shown to be useful in patients suspected of having cerebral metastases or other poorly enhancing lesions.
The recommended dose for whole body MRI is 0.1 mmol/kg.
