Contrast media in magnetic resonance imaging
Adult: As a 0.002 mmol/ml solution: Dose depends on the joint being imaged; the usual range is from 1-20 ml.
Intravenous
Contrast media in magnetic resonance imaging
Adult: As a 0.5 mmol/ml solution: 0.1 mmol/kg at a rate no faster than 10 ml per 15 seconds. For cranial and spinal imaging, a further dose of 0.1 mmol/kg (up to 0.2 mmol/kg) may be given within 30 min if necessary. For whole body imaging, a dose of 0.2 mmol/kg may be needed in some cases to produce adequate contrast and, up to 0.3 mmol/kg may be used in some cases.
Child: As a 0.5 mmol/ml solution: 0.1 mmol/kg at a rate no faster than 10 ml per 15 seconds. For cranial and spinal imaging, a further dose of 0.1 mmol/kg may be given within 30 min if necessary. For whole body imaging in children >2 yr, a dose of 0.2 mmol/kg may be needed in some cases to produce adequate contrast.
