Gadolinium Contrast Media
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| A severe reaction to contrast media. | Anaphylactic Reaction |
| The gadolinium contrast enters the drinking water system from a patient who has received gadolinium contrast. | Anthropogenic |
| The barrier in the brain at the capillary level prevents unwanted substances from crossing. | BBB |
| A type of contrast media binds to proteins (albumin) in the blood so it can stay intravascular longer. This is used to image the vasculature system. | Blood-Pool Contrast |
| A process of binding a metal ion (gadolinium ion) to a molecule so that it can be quickly released from the body. | Chelate |
| A type of contrast media that disperses extracellular. Used to image the CNS | Extracellular Contrast |
| A type of reaction to a contrast media that causes the body to produce histamines can produce serious adverse effects on the patient. | Allergic Reaction |
| Plaques that form on the patient skin contain gadolinium in them. | Gadolinium Associated Plaque |
| The deposition of gadolinium in the body in patients with normal kidney function. | Gadolinium Retention |
| A value that determines what stage of kidney failure a patient is in. | Glomerular Filtration Rate |
| A type of contrast media primarily excreted by the liver and used with liver imaging. | Hepatobiliary Contrast |
| A type of contrast contains a charge dissolved in a solution (blood) that forms a stronger bind between the gadolinium ion and the ligand | Ionic Contrast |
| A molecule binds a metal (gadolinium ion) to create a coordination complex. | Ligand |
| A ligand with a linear design structure attaches a gadolinium ion to it. | Linear |
| An adverse effect from contrast media occurs days, months, or years after the contrast was administered. | Long-term Adverse Effects |
| A type of ligand structure that "cages" in the gadolinium ion. | Macrocyclic |
| A conditional where fibrosis develops on the skin and internal organs when patients with compromised renal function are exposed to gadolinium contrast. | Nephrogenic System Fibrosis |
| A reaction to a contrast media that does not involve producing histamines in the body. Instead, it is a reaction to the action injection of the agent. | Non-Allergic Reaction |
| A type of contrast that does not contain a charge between the gadolinium ion and the ligand. | Non-ionic Contrast |
| The amount of T1 shortening produced from a contrast agent. | Relaxivity |
| The thickness of a contrast agent. | Viscosity |
| An adverse effect to a contrast agent occurs minutes, hours, or days after it was administered. | Short-Term Adverse Effects |
| The process of a ligand losing a gadolinium ion and picking up another metal ion (zinc) | Transmetallation |
