NCIt synonyms : (4RS)-[4-carboxy-5,8,11-tris(carboxymethyl)-1-phenyl-2-oxa-5,8,11-triazatridecan-13-oato(5-)]
gadolinate(2-) dihydrogen compound with 1-deoxy-1-(methylamino)-D-glucitol (1:2); Gd-BOPTA;
NCIt related terms : MultiHance;
NCIt definition : A gadolinium-based paramagnetic contrast agent. When placed in a magnetic field, gadobenate
dimeglumine produces a large magnetic moment and so a large local magnetic field,
which can enhance the relaxation rate of nearby protons; as a result, the signal intensity
of tissue images observed with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may be enhanced. Because
this agent is preferentially taken up by normal functioning hepatocytes, normal hepatic
tissue is enhanced with MRI while tumor tissue is unenhanced. In addition, because
gadobenate dimeglumine is excreted in the bile, it may be used to visualize the biliary
system using MRI.;
Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: A drug used in MRI to help make clear pictures of blood vessels in the
brain, spine, and nearby tissues. It is also being studied as a way to find abnormal
areas in the liver and other organs and to help diagnose cancer. Gadobenate dimeglumine
is a type of contrast agent.;
