Extracellular MRI and X-ray contrast agents are characterized by their phar- cokinetic behaviour.After intravascular injection their plasma-level time curve is characeterized by two phases. The agents are rapidly distributed between plasma and interstitial spaces followed by renal elimination with a
Gd( DTPA)\*-(diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid) and the polyaza macrocyclic Gd(D0TA)-(1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-N,N',N",N) are paradigms of general purpose paramagnetic complexes useful for enhancing contrast in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). It is of both fundamental and practical interest
