Gadobutrol
Updates to Article Attributes
Gadobutrol (also known as Gadovist/GadavistTM) is an extracellular intravenous contrast agent used in magnetic resonance imaging.
As an extracellular contrast agent, gadobutrol can be useful in a wide range of MRI imaging applications, including (but not limited to): hepatic imaging, pelvic imaging, cardiac imaging, brain and spine imaging, and musculoskeletal imaging.
Gadobutrol is a cyclic, nonionic gadolinium chelate with recommended dosage of 0.1 mmol/kg. It is completely renally excreted, with no hepatic excretion.
Of note, gadobutrol's standard concentration (1 mmol/ml) is 2x - 4x that of other commercially available gadolinium chelates, and the smaller injection volume should be considered when planning the timing of the arterial phase in postcontrast dynamic sequences.
