Program Summary

Join us for this CME-accredited webinar to explore the clinical performance of gadopiclenol, a new-generation MRI contrast agent. The session begins with an overview of gadopiclenol’s unique chemical properties and a review of current scientific evidence supporting its safety, efficacy, and diagnostic reliability.

Professor Thorsten Bley from the University Medical Center Würzburg in Germany will then share real-world experience and case-based examples from head to toe, highlighting image quality, workflow considerations, and comparisons with other contrast agents. The program concludes with a discussion of the environmental benefits of using half the gadolinium dose while maintaining high signal intensity.

Expand your MRI knowledge and discover how gadopiclenol can enhance diagnostic confidence—register today to participate in this evidence-based, case-driven learning experience.

Educational Objectives

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

• Incorporate current evidence on the design, safety, and efficacy of gadopiclenol to guide informed MRI contrast agent selection.
• Implement optimized MRI protocols that achieve equivalent or greater signal intensity using half the gadolinium dose compared with conventional GBCAs.
• Adopt environmentally responsible imaging practices by reducing gadolinium use and understanding its potential impact on wastewater and the environment.

No special educational preparation is required for this CME/CE activity!

Commercial Support

This program is made possible through an unrestricted educational grant from Guerbet

Presenter

Professor Thorsten Bley is a board-certified radiologist and serves as Chairman of the Department of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology at the University of Würzburg, Germany.
