Qualitative assessment of EOB-GD-DTPA and Gd-BT-DO3A MR contrast studies in HCC patients and colorectal liver metastases [PDF]
Aim To compare liver-specific EOB-GD-DTPA and liver-non-specific Gd-BT-DO3A MR, in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and liver colorectal metastases. Material and methods Seventy HCC patients with 158 nodules and 90 colorectal liver metastases (mCRC) with ...

A Novel Gd-DTPA-conjugated Poly(L-γ-glutamyl-glutamine)-paclitaxel Polymeric Delivery System for Tumor Theranostics [PDF]
The conventional chemotherapeutics could not be traced in vivo and provide timely feedback on the clinical effectiveness of drugs. In this study, poly(L-γ-glutamyl-glutamine)-paclitaxel (PGG-PTX), as a model polymer, was chemically conjugated with Gd ...

Analysis of pharmacokinetics of Gd-DTPA for dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging. [PDF]
The pharmacokinetics (PK) of the contrast agent Gd-DTPA administered intravenously (i.v.) for contrast-enhanced MR imaging (DCE-MRI) is an important factor for quantitative data acquisition.

Effect of Mg and Ca on the Stability of the MRI Contrast Agent Gd–DTPA in Seawater
Gadolinium diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (Gd–DTPA) is widely applied as a contrast enhancer in medical MRI. As Gd–DTPA is only minimally captured in wastewater treatment plants (WTPs) or degraded by UV light and other oxidative processes ...

[Fe-EOB-tCDTA] generates strong contrast in the blood but not in the liver, despite inhibiting cellular [Gd-EOB-DTPA]2- uptake and partial liver excretion [PDF]
Objective Iron-based contrast agents (IBCAs) have potential as alternatives to Gd-based contrast agents (GBCAs), intending to address the long-term safety concerns associated with gadolinium.
