Gadolinium Dose accuracy and testing

This page documents how Calwarden builds trust for this calculator: source notes, regression-style default tests, limitations, assumptions, unit handling, rounding, and visible change history.

Formula source

  • **Total Dose (mmol)** = Weight (kg) × 0.1 mmol/kg **Volume (mL)** = Total Dose / Concentration (mmol/mL)

Test cases

Default input regression check

Generated from the checked-in default inputs and calculate function.

Inputs

  • Patient Weight: 75 kg
  • Concentration: 0.5 mmol/mL (Standard)

Expected outputs

  • Injection Volume: 15 mL
  • Total Dose: 7.5 mmol

Known limitations

  • This page documents the checked-in calculator logic and does not certify results for every real-world edge case.
  • Use the result as a planning estimate unless the calculator page states a stricter purpose.

Assumptions

  • The calculation uses a standard 0.1 mmol/kg dose and does not model every agent-specific indication or reduced-dose protocol.
  • Renal function screening, labeling restrictions, and institutional safety checks remain essential before administration.
  • This tool supports dose preparation and should not be treated as an authorization to give contrast.

Unit handling

  • Patient Weight accepts values in kg.
  • Concentration accepts one of the configured options.
  • Injection Volume is displayed in mL.
  • Total Dose is displayed in mmol.

Rounding rules

  • Number displays use up to 2 decimal places in the calculator UI.
