## Abstract The biodistribution of approved gadolinium (Gd)βbased contrast agents (GBCAs) is reviewed. After intravenous injection GBCAs distribute in the blood and the extracellular space and transiently through the excretory organs. Preclinical animal studies and the available clinical literature
## Abstract Gadolinium (Gd)βbased paramagnetic contrast agents are relatively safe when used in clinically recommended doses. However, with the rapidly expanding body of literature linking Gdβbased paramagnetic contrast agents and nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF), awareness of the potential side
## Abstract ## Purpose: To assess the safety of intravenously administered gadoliniumβbased contrast material in sickle cell disease (SCD) patients. ## Materials and Methods: All pediatric and adult SCD patients evaluated by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at our institution between January 199
## Abstract Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) is a potentially severe systemic disease typically characterized by fibrosis of the skin and connective tissues. The etiology of NSF is still unknown but is likely to be multifactorial. Specific triggers under scientific evaluation have included surge
