Gadoquatrane is a paramagnetic tetrameric macrocyclic non-ionic complex of gadolinium that develops a magnetic moment when placed in a magnetic field. The magnetic moment alters the relaxation rates of water protons in its vicinity in the body, leading to an increase in the signal intensity (brightness) of tissues. |
