Gadodiamide is a contrast medium used for cranial and spinal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and for general MRI of the body after intravenous administration. It provides contrast enhancement and facilitates visualisation of abnormal structures or lesions in various parts of the body including the central nervous system (CNS).
Gadoteridol is a gadolinium-based MRI contrast agent, used particularly in the imaging of the central nervous system. It is sold under the brand name ProHance . [ 3 ] Gadoteridol was first approved for use in the United States in 1992.
Gadobutrol is a medicinal product used in diagnostic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in adults and children. It provides contrast enhancement during cranial, spinal, breast, or other investigations. In the central nervous system, Gadobutrol works by highlighting any areas with disrupted blood brain barrier (BBB) and/or abnormal vascularity.

Gadopentetic acid, sold under the brand name Magnevist, is a gadolinium-based MRI contrast agent. [2]It is usually administered as a salt of a complex of gadolinium with DTPA (diethylenetriaminepentacetate) with the chemical formula A 2 [Gd(DTPA)(H 2 O)]; when cation A is the protonated form of the amino sugar meglumine the salt goes under the name "gadopentetate dimeglumine".

In the form of the methylglucamine salt meglumine gadobenate or gadobenate dimeglumine , it is used as a gadolinium-based MRI contrast medium. [4] BOPTA is a derivative of DTPA in which one terminal carboxyl group, –C(O)OH is replaced by -C–O–CH 2 C 6 H 5. Thus gadobenic acid is closely related to gadopentetic acid.
