Popis: During an infectious disease modeling study, a rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta), experienced acute transient tachypnea including transient severe motion during the 70-second phases of serial contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging of the abdomen. This same animal experienced transient severe motion during all but 2 of the 8 scans of the year-long study. This animal was the only animal in the study (1 of 12) to have this reaction to gadoxetate; the animal also vomited after the contrast injection once on day 146 of the study. On day 86, a different contrast agent (gadobutrol) was used, and the reaction did not occur. No treatment was required for any conditions relating to the reaction due to the self-limited nature. This type of reaction has not yet been reported in veterinary subjects before and is likely to be idiosyncratic after first exposure. However, this reaction should not be life threatening, and other contrast agents can be used if acute transient tachypnea does occur.
