The delayed (hepatocyte) phase starts at about 10 minutes post
injection (in confirmatory
studies most of the data were obtained at 20 minutes post injection)

window lasting at least 120 minutes. The imaging window is reduced to
60 minutes in
patients requiring hemodialysis and in patients with elevated
bilirubin values (> 3 mg/dl)
(see also section “Interaction with other medicinal products and
