Program Description

Join us for this CME-accredited webinar to explore the clinical performance of gadopiclenol, a new-generation MRI contrast agent. The session begins with an overview of gadopiclenol’s unique chemical properties and a review of current scientific evidence supporting its safety, efficacy, and diagnostic reliability.

Professor Thorsten Bley from the University Medical Center Würzburg in Germany will then share real-world experience and case-based examples from head to toe, highlighting image quality, workflow considerations, and comparisons with other contrast agents. The program concludes with a discussion of the environmental benefits of using half the gadolinium dose while maintaining high signal intensity.

Expand your MRI knowledge and discover how gadopiclenol can enhance diagnostic confidence—register today to participate in this evidence-based, case-driven learning experience.

Learning Objectives

After participating, attendees should be able to:

Incorporate current evidence on the design, safety, and efficacy of gadopiclenol to guide informed MRI contrast agent selection.
Implement optimized MRI protocols that achieve equivalent or greater signal intensity using half the gadolinium dose compared with conventional GBCAs.
Adopt environmentally responsible imaging practices by reducing gadolinium use and understanding its potential impact on wastewater and the environment.
