Gdchelate
Gdchelate refers to a complex molecule where a gadolinium ion (Gd3+) is bound to a chelating agent. Chelating agents are organic molecules that can form multiple bonds with a metal ion, effectively surrounding and stabilizing it. Gadolinium is a rare-earth metal.
The primary use of Gdchelates is in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as contrast agents. When administered to
The chelating agent is crucial because it prevents the toxic free gadolinium ion from being released into
