Updated Q&A on Gadolinium Contrast Agents for MRI

A new educational review on MRI Questions consolidates safety and physics of gadolinium-based contrast agents, covering stability, NSF risk, and macrocyclic vs. linear agents (exact numbers not reported in source).

• This is an updated educational Q&A resource, not a primary research study, designed for trainees and practicing radiologists.
• The material clarifies differences between macrocyclic and linear chelates regarding thermodynamic stability and nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) risk.
• It serves as a foundational refresher on contrast physics and safety, lacking new clinical data or practice-changing findings.
