Using photon-counting CT (PCCT) with the gadolinium-based contrast agent (GBCA) gadoxetate disodium shows promise for improved liver visualization at a lower dose than is required for CT exams using other GBCA agents, researchers have reported. But more research is needed, as the gadoxetate disodium dose -- 200-mol/kg -- is still too high for clinical use, wrote a team led by Stephen Rau, MD, of the University of Freiburg in Germany.
