Zambrano did not want the fluid pumped into his arm required for an MRI called gadolinium) apparently caused Zambrano to be placed on the 15-day DL back in June and he would rather miss one start because of what he is describing as a tired arm than at least two starts he would miss because of the fluid being injected. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Thomsen and his colleagues ­believed the drug, which contained a toxic metal called gadolinium, was directly linked to the incapacitating ­illness of their patients. ❋ Sarah Boseley (2010)

The drugs contain a magnetic, metallic chemical called gadolinium that travels throughout the heart and other organs to help clarify image quality during scans. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Rare earth alloys include rare-earth ferrosilicon—with 17%-37% rare-earth content—which is used as an additive in steel and iron smelting, and magnesium rare earth, which contains 2%-10% of rare-earth elements yttrium and gadolinium and is used in the aviation, automotive and defense sectors. ❋ Unknown (2011)
