		<description><![CDATA[1. What is gadolinium and what is its use in clinical medicine?

Gadolinium is a paramagnetic metal ion. Paramagnetic ions, such as gadolinium, tend to move into magnetic fields. This trait makes paramagnetic ions such as gadolinium useful for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA). Gadolinium is approved for use with MRI as [...]]]></description>
