Gadolinium deposition in the brain: another concern regarding gadolinium-based contrast agents.
Nevzat Karabulut Life is continuously confronting us with new issues and sometimes breaking our routine. One case in point is the curious way radiologists’ knowledge about the benefits and risks of gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) continues to evolve. Significantly improving detection and characterization of lesions in a broad spectrum of diseases, GBCAs have become integral aides to ma...
متن کاملNo Association between Gadolinium-Based Contrast Agents and Development of Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis: a Case Study
Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF), previously known as nephrogenic fibrosing dermopathy, is an emerging systemic fibrosing disorder that develops in the setting of renal insufficiency. Nephrogenic fibrosing dermopathy (NFD) is a fibrosing condition of the skin which shows an increased number of dendritic cells, fibroblasts and thickened collagen fibers resembling scleromyxedema. It is charact...
متن کاملGadolinium contrast agents: Over exposure?
Background MRI has dramatically changed the way we diagnose disease. With the introduction of contrast agents specifically for MRI, we were now able to see that which was ‘invisible’. Gadopentetate dimeglumine (Magnevist) was introduced over 20 years ago, since then many more agents with variable features have been introduced. Several newer agents have improved ‘relaxivity’ and some designated ...
متن کاملAre gadolinium contrast agents suitable for gadolinium neutron capture therapy?
OBJECTIVE Gadolinium neutron capture therapy (GdNCT) is a potential treatment for malignant tumors based on two steps: (1) injection of a tumor-specific (157)Gd compound; (2) tumor irradiation with thermal neutrons. The GdNC reaction can induce cell death provided that Gd is proximate to DNA. Here, we studied the nuclear uptake of Gd by glioblastoma (GBM) tumor cells after treatment with two Gd...
متن کاملExtracellular gadolinium contrast agents: differences in stability.
Extracellular gadolinium contrast agents (Gd-CA) are either linear or macrocyclic chelates available as ionic or non-ionic preparations. The molecular structure whether cyclic or linear and ionicity determines the stability of Gd-CA. Linear chelates are flexible open chains which do not offer a strong binding to Gd(3+). In contrast, the macrocyclic chelates offer a strong binding to Gd(3+) by t...
