Gadolinium, or gadodiamide, provides greater contrast between normal tissue and abnormal tissue in the brain and body.
Gadolinium looks clear like water and is non-radioactive.
After it is injected into a vein, Gadolinium accumulates in the abnormal tissue that may be affecting the body or head. This makes it very easy to see. Gadolinium is then rapidly cleared from the body by the kidneys. Gadolinium, gadolinium-DPTA, gadodiamide. Gadolinium allows the MRI to define abnormal tissue with greater clarity than ever before.
