What is Gadobutrol used for?

Gadovist is primarily used as a contrast agent in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to improve the visibility of blood vessels and tissues. It helps healthcare professionals obtain clearer images, which can be crucial for diagnosing various conditions. The primary use of Gadovist is to enhance the quality of MRI scans, making it easier to identify abnormalities.

What are the side effects of Gadobutrol?
