7T MRI and molecular studies of Dotarem (gadoterate meglumine) retention in macrophages.

Gadolinium-based MRI contrast agent Dotarem is commonly used in the clinic. Free Gd3+ is very toxic. Because the crystallographic radius of Gd3+ and Ca2+ is very similar, Gd3+ can compete with Ca2+ in the regulations of cellular functions. Gadolinium is retained in organs and tissues, but the effect...
