Gadoxetate disodium

Gadoxetate Disodium (Gd-EOB-DTPA Disodium; ZK 139834) is a contrast agent in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the hepatobiliary system, which accumulates in normal, functioning hepatocytes. Gadoxetate Disodium (Gd-EOB-DTPA Disodium; ZK 139834) is used to evaluate focal liver lesions, such as hepatocellular carcinoma or liver metastasis on T1-weighted imaging[1][2][3].
