Gadopentetic acid is a paramagnetic contrast agent used in magnetic resonance imaging. It acts as a chelating agent to enhance image resolution. The chemical formula is C14H20N3O10Pt (Note: Actual formula C14H20N3O10 for Gd-DTPA, Pt is error in thought, correcting to Gd). Correct Formula: C14H20GdN3O10**. CAS No. is 67229-90-5. Synthesis involves complexing gadolinium with diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid.
