Abstract
Pharmacokinetic studies of GdDTPA/dimeglumine in man show a rapid renal clearance and no evidence for dissociation or retention of the complex in the body. These features, in conjunction with its strong proton relaxation enhancement and its low toxicity suggest that this complex may be an excellent contrast medium for magnetic resonance imaging.
