Gadolinium is a paramagnetic metal icon. These paramagnetic icons move differently within a magnetic field in which these make the gadolinium useful for something more familiar in today’s medicine such as MRI. Gadolinium helped doctors and medical professionals to be able to see a patient’s internal organs‚ inflammation‚ tumors‚ blood vessels‚ and tissue. The quality of MRI’s are enhanced by altering the magnetic properties of water molecules when gadolinium is used. Gadolinium used by itself is
