By Wayne Forrest
As the safety of gadolinium MRI contrast is hotly debated, one of the challenges has been detecting gadolinium deposition in living patients. Canadian researchers may have found a solution to the dilemma with an x-ray fluorescence system that can noninvasively detect trace elements of gadolinium in exposed individuals.
