Used as a contrast agent in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to enhance the clarity of internal body structures. Improves detection of tumors, inflammation, and blood vessel abnormalities. Also employed in research for its paramagnetic properties, aiding in the study of molecular dynamics and structure. In industrial settings, utilized in doping materials for phosphors and scintillators. Commonly applied in medical diagnostics due to its ability to shorten relaxation times of nearby water protons.
