Gadolinum is the agent needed to provide the contrast for the image, the molecule is called G-DTPA and the DTPA part cages tge Gadolinum so it is used only for the conrast, the KIDNEY helps excerete this toxic thing out immediatly after it is used for the conrtast enhanced MRI scan. if you have any sort of Kidney problems you are at risk of this stuff staying in your body and causing NSF.
The inventor of Omniscan (Steven Quay) & colleagues tell the toxic truth in the article below.

Release of Gd3+ from the complex is responsible for the toxicity associated with gadoliium complexes; this release appears to be a consequence of Zn2+, Cu2+, and Ca2+ transmetallation in vivo. The added Ca2+ salt of the ligand must have a favorable toxicity so that the decrease in toxicity from in vivo transmetallation doesn't offset....

My father died from this. We now have a lawsuit against GE Medical. It's been on going for three years now. Hopefully I'll see something this year.
