Gadobenate dimeglumineProduct ingredient for Gadobenic acid

Gadobenic acid, usually available in the salt form gadobenate dimeglumine, is a linear MRI gadolinium-based contrast agent (GBCA) used primarily for MR imaging of the liver.⁹ It differs from other GBCAs due to the benzene ring that confers weak protein binding, thus leading to an increased R1 and R2 relaxivity.⁸ As gadobenate dimeglumine is specifically taken up by hepatocytes and excreted through the biliary system, it is a useful contrast agent for liver MRI.³

Gadobenate dimeglumine was approved by the FDA in November 2004 under the brand name MultiHance.⁸
