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.
