Objective  To investigate the diagnostic value of a double action MR contrast agent——gadobenate dimeglumine (Gd-BOPTA) for focal liver lesion and biliary system disease. Methods  Articles about Gd-BOPTA in CNKI and PubMed for the past few years were searched and the value of Gd-BOPTA in the diagnosis of focal liver lesion and biliary system disease was summarized. Results  For focal liver lesion, Gd-BOPTA not only can reveal blood supply of the lesion, but also reveal the hepatocellular functional status in the lesion. For biliary system, biliary excretion of Gd-BOPTA can be used to evaluate the anatomic structure of bile duct, function of gallbladder and biliary system disease. Conclusions  Gd-BOPTA has an important value in the diagnosis of focal liver lesion and biliary system disease. Gd-BOPTA may have wider applications in the future.
