Dotarem® is a paramagnetic ionic MRI contrast agent. Extracellular contrast agents like Dotarem®, can be bolus injected because of the relatively low rate of side effects. This contrast medium is useable to enhance signal intensity in magnetic resonance imaging for intracranial and spinal lesions with an abnormal blood brain barrier or abnormal vascularity, and in whole body imaging.

Artirem®, the arthrography-specific contrast agent for MRI is a dilute form of Dotarem® with a less concentration of Gd (1:200). Artirem® has to be injected directly into the joints for better visualisation and delimitation, of the ligament and tendon structures in particular.

The contrast agents are either renal or hepatically excreted media, which stay in the intravascular/extracellular tissue compartment. The enhancement in the blood continues for as long as the contrast agent remains in the blood stream.
E.g. Dotarem®, Magnevist®, Omniscan®, ProHance®.

GadoliniumForum - related threadsInfoSheet: - Contrast Agents - Intro, Overview, Characteristics, Types of, etc.
 
(Gd) Gadolinium is a Lanthanide element that is paramagnetic in its trivalent state.
This paramagnetic substance is used for MR imaging because of the effect of strongly decreasing the T1 relaxation times of the tissues to which gadolinium has access. When injected during magnetic resonance imaging, gadolinium will tend to change signal intensities by shortening the T1 time in its surroundings.
The relaxivity of gadolinium is an important measure of its efficacy, which is dependend on the chemical properties of the complex. The gadolinium ion cannot be used in its chloride, sulfate, or acetate forms because of poor tolerance and low solubility in water in the neutral pH range. Although toxic by itself, gadolinium can be given safely in a chelated form such as DTPA, that still retains much of its strong effect on relaxation times (relaxivity).
See also Dotarem®, Gadovist®, MultiHance®, Omniscan®, OptiMARK®, and Contrast Agents, the info sheet gives an overview and more in-dept information about different types of MRI contrast agents.
