Credits: 0.5 Category A, ARRT and CRA | Format: Text Self-Study
Release Date: August 1, 2025 | Expiration Date: July 31, 2028
Gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) continue to advance the diagnostic value of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), by increasing the sensitivity and specificity for detecting a broad range of cardiac pathologies
In this CE-accredited program, Mobeen Z Haider, MD, and Robert WW Biederman, MD, FACC, FAHA, FASA, FGSC, FSCMR, share their clinical experience and discuss considerations for selecting and utilizing GBCAs in cardiac MRI. In addition, case study examples demonstrate the clinical impact of gadopiclenol; supported by best practice suggestions for providing effective cardiac MR imaging services.
Educational Objectives
Upon completion of this CE-accredited activity the healthcare provider should be able to:
-
Describe the history of GBCA use in contrast-enhanced MRI, with focus on cardiac imaging.
-
Identify key physicochemical properties that make gadopiclenol unique and appropriate for use in cardiac MRI.
-
Discuss the use of gadopiclenol in cardiac MRI through case scenarios and describe its impact on patient management.
This program is made possible through an unrestricted educational grant from Bracco Diagnostics.
