✦ Synopsis

Figure 1. Left: 0.5Â0.5Â0.5 mm speck of Gd embedded in ex vivo tissue at a temperature (a) below (58C) and (b) above (368C) the Curie temperature. The artifact area is substantially decreased above the Curie temperature (Gd is paramagnetic) vs below (Gd is ferromagnetic). Right: decreasing artifact area with increasing temperature across the Curie temperature for gadolinium (208C)
