## Abstract A computer model of blood plasma which has allowed the effect of Gd(III) contrast agents to be simulated has been developed. Initial binding of Gd(III) is to transferrin. At high concentration the metal ion binds to citrate and salicylate. At a concentrate of 10^−3^ __M__, GdCl~3~ is pr

Dipolar interaction between the metal ion and proximate water molecules represents an efficient mechanism for solvent relaxation in Gd 3+ complexes currently employed as MRI contrast agents. Besides inner sphere (metal bound) and outer sphere hydration molecules, a well-defined second coordination s
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
