Quarter-Dose (0.025 mmol/kg) Gadobenate Dimeglumine for Abdominal MRI in Patients at Risk for Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis: Preliminary Observations

Abstract

A one-quarter dose of gadobenate dimeglumine at 3 T is a feasible alternative for abdominal MRI in patients at risk for nephrogenic systemic fibrosis. Our results might have important clinical implications, because greater safety may be conferred on patients with poor renal function with this low dose of contrast agent.
