Used as a contrast agent in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the liver. It enhances the visibility of liver lesions, helping to distinguish between benign and malignant tumors. The agent is taken up by functioning hepatocytes and excreted through the biliary system, allowing for detailed imaging of both the vascular and hepatobiliary phases. This dual excretion pathway improves detection and characterization of liver abnormalities, particularly in the evaluation of hepatocellular carcinoma and metastases.
