In the 3 years since residual gadolinium-based contrast agent (GBCA) in the brain was first
reported, much has been learned about its accumulation, including the pathway of GBCA
entry into the brain, the brain distribution of GBCA and its excretion. Here we review recent
progress in understanding the routes of gadolinium deposition in brain structures.
