Gadoterate
No Gadoterate
Patients who choose to receive Gadoterate will receive an MRI exam with standard pre-contrast and Gadoterate-enhanced acquisitions (0.2 mL/kg). The MRI protocol utilized in the study will be comprised of the standard Body protocols (routine abdomen, liver-pancreas, renal, prostate, angiography) as well as the standard Neurologic exam protocols (routine brain, orbital, brainstem, neck, angiography).
Patients who choose not to receive Gadoterate will receive an MRI exam with no Gadolinium contrast. MRI protocols utilized in the study will be comprised of the standard Body protocols (routine abdomen, liver-pancreas, renal, prostate, angiography) as well as the standard Neurologic exam protocols (routine brain, orbital, brainstem, neck, angiography).
