GadoSpin P is a long-circulating imaging agent for magnetic resonance angiography (MRA). It is based on a high molecular weight polymer that does not extravasate from intact blood vessels.

The unique polymeric gadolinium chelate agent:

  • Is based on a linear polymer of a tailored molecular weight
  • Remains in the vasculature with a long blood half-life
  • Prevents a loss in vessel contrast over time as seen with monomers
  • Enables higher resolution through a longer steady state period and a wide acquisition timeframe
  • GadoSpin P is Viscover's leading blood pool agent for MR angiography
  • Discover an experimental alternative to GadoSpin D for dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI studies

GadoSpin P allows for a sharper delineation of blood vessels due to its longer blood pool phase compared to conventional extracellular agents (Gd-DTPA).
