2021-7-20 · The ionic radius of Gd 3 (108 pm) is very close to that of Ca 2 (114 pm). Free gadolinium is therefore a competitive inhibitor of physiologic processes that depend on Ca 2 influx including voltage-gated calcium channels and the activity of some enzymes. All Gd-based MR contrast agents therefore use some sort of ligand to chelate (contain) the free ion and reduce its high toxicity.

Types. Most clinically used MRI contrast agents work by shortening the T1 relaxation time of protons inside tissues via interactions with the nearby contrast agent. Thermally driven motion of the strongly paramagnetic metal ions in the contrast agent generate the oscillating magnetic fields that provide the relaxation mechanisms that enhance the rate of decay of the induced polarization.
MRI contrast agents have become an indispensable part of contemporary magnetic resonance imaging. Although MRI was initially hoped to provide a means of making definitive diagnoses without administering contrast media it has been found that the addition of contrast agents in many cases improves sensitivity and/or specificity.
