According to a study published in the American Roentgen Ray Society, exposure to gadolinium and other contrast agents can lead to adverse effects. While the rate of incidence is low, the study confirms the potential danger of these contrast agents. While most of the injuries caused by exposure are mild and can be treated, some are more serious and require serious medical attention.
The study was conducted by three researchers from the Mayo Clinic's Department of Radiology. The paper was titled "Frequency and Severity of Adverse Effects of Iodinated and Gadolinium Contrast Materials: Retrospective Review of 456,930 Doses."
