Program Summary

With the recent FDA approval of gadopiclenol injection, radiologists now have the choice of a macrocyclic gadolinium-based contrast agent (GBCA) with 2 – 3 times higher relaxivity at a lower standard dose as compared to other gadolinium-based contrast agents on the marke

Therefore, and because gadopiclenlol is different than other currently available GBCAs, a review of the clinical benefits of using a higher relaxivity GBCA at a lower administered dose is important. A clear understanding of relaxivity and calculation of the volume to be administered based on dosing considerations, is necessary

In this accredited webinar, Mr. Faulkner will provide insights into the differences of the current FDA-approved GBCAs and how these differences apply to MR imaging. Following the presentation, questions from the audience were addressed during a live Q&A.

Educational Objectives

At the completion of this activity, participants should be able to:

• Identify the properties that distinguish gadopiclenol injection from the other high relaxivity and conventional gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs).
• Employ the FDA-approved indications and clinical applications for gadopiclenol injection.
• Calculate and administer the proper volume dose of gadopiclenol, as compared to other conventional GBCAs.
• Apply clinical considerations and dosing options for gadopiclenol to vulnerable patient populations who may experience repeat dosing of GBCA.

No special educational preparation is required to participate in this activity!
