Gadoteric acid is a contrast agent used in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to improve image quality. It contains gadolinium, a metal that helps highlight anatomical and pathological details.
It is commonly used for diagnosing central nervous system conditions, tumors, or vascular issues. Administration is done intravenously, and the substance is eliminated from the body through the kidneys.
