I am trying to do an evaluation of this medical report and I can not find any information on the uses of gadolinium. So far I do know that it is an metal element of some sort. The report says 20cc of gadolinium.

Gad is a contrast material used in MRIs. Malignant neoplasms absorb it and are more clearly delineated on imaging.
