title: Gadolinium contrast dose in the evaluation of central nervous system tumors.
abstract: Many factors affect the ability to detect a CNS lesion. There is no single contrast dose that is optimal for all diseases. By understanding these factors that may affect lesion detection, the appropriate dose for specific pathologic processes may be determined.
