title: Some physicochemical properties of the gadolinium-DTPA complex, a contrast agent for MRI.
abstract: The physicochemical characteristics of a good contrast agent for NMR are met by the gadolinium-DTPA complex. Measurements of density, viscosity and osmotic pressure of solutions to be injected are reported. A short survey of the results of X-ray analysis of the di-sodium-Gd-DTPA is given.
