Evaluation of Gadolinium‐Based Contrast Agents in Juvenile Non‐Human Primates Including Behavioral Evaluations Such as Learning and Memory
Gd levels observed in brain tissue of cynomolgus monkey after juvenile exposure to multiples of equivalent clinical doses of all GBCAs tested did not correlate with any adverse morphological or functional findings. This study showed no evidence that exposure to GBCA during development presents a potential risk for long-term effects such as behavioral, neurological, or histopathological findings in the brain, and/or impaired learning or memory.
