Gadoxetate is a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agent. Contrast agents are used to help create a clear picture of the body during MRI scans. MRI scans are a special kind of diagnostic procedure. They use magnets and computers to create images or “pictures” of certain areas inside the body. Unlike x-rays, they do not involve ionizing radiation. Gadoxetate is a gadolinium-based contrast agent (GBCA).

Gadoxetate is given by injection before MRI to help diagnose problems in the liver.

Gadoxetate is to be used only by or under the direct supervision of a doctor.
