Abstract in brief

The article discusses the widespread use of gadolinium-based contrast agents in MRI scans, the safety concerns related to their long-term use, and the ongoing research to develop safer and more targeted alternatives.
It explains various mechanisms used to create MRI contrast, such as relaxation and chemical exchange saturation transfer, along with the types of molecules suitable for these processes.
The review highlights efforts to improve contrast agents by enhancing safety features like increased relaxivity and resistance to metal ion release, as well as making them more specific to certain pathological conditions through targeting or responsiveness.
