“…Compared with iodine, gadolinium has a higher k-edge (or binding energy needed to eject a K shell electron) and is more attenuating at x-ray photon energies >50 keV. The toxic dose (LD 50 ) for GCM is 6-20 mmol/kg (high osmolar ICM = 10 mmol/kg, nonionic low osmolar ICM = 30 mmol/kg) [204]. However, ICM possess more iodine atoms per molecule than gadolinium in gadolinium contrast media (GCM).…”

The use of contrast media in computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is increasing in horses. These contrast-enhanced imaging techniques provide improved tissue delineation and evaluation, thereby expanding diagnostic capabilities. While generally considered safe, not all contrast media exhibit the same safety profiles. The safety of contrast media use and descriptions of adverse events occurring in horses are sparsely reported. This review summarises the reported evidence of contrast media use and adverse events that occur in horses, with added contribution from other veterinary species and studies in man for comparison. This comprehensive data set empowers equine clinicians to develop use and monitoring strategies when working with contrast media. Finally, it summarises the current state-of-the-art and highlights the potential applications of contrast-enhanced CT and MRI for assessment of diseased or injured equine tissues, as well as (patho)physiological processes.

“…Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) has been reported after administration of both iodine-and gadolinium-based contrast media. After gadolinium-based contrast media are used in the doses approved for MRI, it is seen extremely infrequently (6). Experimental studies have indicated that gadolinium-based contrast media may be at least as nephrotoxic as iodine-based contrast media, if not more, when used for radiography (7).…”

“…Moderate and severe reactions requiring medical treatment are infrequent (<0.2%) (2). Renal adverse reactions, often called contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN), are rarely seen after gadolinium-based contrast media in the doses used for MRI (3).…”
