view. talk. edit. Naturally occurring gadolinium (64 Gd) is composed of 6 stable isotopes, 154 Gd, 155 Gd, 156 Gd, 157 Gd, 158 Gd and 160 Gd, and 1 radioisotope, 152 Gd, with 158 Gd being the most abundant (24.84% natural abundance). The predicted double beta decay of 160 Gd has never been observed; only a lower limit on its half-life of more ...
Gadolinium is a chemical element; it has symbol Gd and atomic number 64. Gadolinium is a silvery-white metal when oxidation is removed. It is a malleable and ductile rare-earth element. Gadolinium reacts with atmospheric oxygen or moisture slowly to form a black coating. Gadolinium below its Curie point of 20 °C (68 °F) is ferromagnetic, with ...
Gadolinium (III) containing MRI contrast agents (often termed simply "gado" or "gad") are the most commonly used for enhancement of vessels in MR angiography or for brain tumor enhancement associated with the degradation of the blood–brain barrier (BBB). [3][4] Over 450 million doses have been administered worldwide from 1988 to 2017. [5]

A gallium scan is a type of nuclear medicine test that uses either a gallium-67 (67 Ga) or gallium-68 (68 Ga) radiopharmaceutical to obtain images of a specific type of tissue, or disease state of tissue. Gallium salts like gallium citrate and gallium nitrate may be used. The form of salt is not important, since it is the freely dissolved ...
Gadodiamide is a contrast medium used for cranial and spinal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and for general MRI of the body after intravenous administration. It provides contrast enhancement and facilitates visualisation of abnormal structures or lesions in various parts of the body including the central nervous system (CNS).

Relative abundance of the chemical elements in the Earth's upper continental crust, on a per-atom basis. In geochemistry, geophysics and nuclear physics, primordial nuclides, also known as primordial isotopes, are nuclides found on Earth that have existed in their current form since before Earth was formed. Primordial nuclides were present in ...
