AbstractObjective: Nanosized materials of gadolinium oxide can provide high-contrast enhancement in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The objective of the present study was to investigate proton relaxation enhancement by ultrasmall (5 to 10 nm) Gd2O3 nanocrystals. Materials and methods: Gd2O3 nanocrystals were synthesized by a colloidal method and capped with diethylene glycol (DEG). The oxidation state of Gd2O3 was confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Proton relaxation times were…

TLDR
The Gd3-loaded nanoparticles described in this paper have a diameter of 120 nm and are, therefore, small enough to pass easily through the vasculature and provide excellent contrast when used to image the heart and gastrointestinal tract in a rat animal model.

Ternary complexes between cationic GdIII chelates and anionic metabolites in aqueous solution: an NMR relaxometric study.
TLDR
A VT (17)O NMR study has shown a marked increase of the rate of water exchange upon binding which is explained by coordination of the anion in an equatorial site, thus leaving the water molecule in an apical position, more accessible for interactions with the solvent molecules of the second hydration shell which facilitate the exchange process.
