Gadoteridol (Intravenous Route)
Drug Information provided by: MicromedexUS Brand Names
|
Description
Gadoteridol injection is a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agent. Contrast agents are used to help create a clear picture of the body during MRI scans. MRI scans are a special kind of procedure that let a doctor look at the inside of the body, such as the brain. They use magnets and computers to create images or “pictures” of the body. Unlike x-rays, MRI scans do not involve radiation. Gadoteridol is a gadolinium-based contrast agent (GBCA) that is given by injection before the MRI to help diagnose problems in the brain, spine, head, or neck.
This medicine is to be used only by or under the direct supervision of a doctor.
