Gadolinium (Gd) Rod

Gadolinium, symbolized by Gd and atomic number 64, is a rare earth metal that possesses distinctive magnetic and medical properties, making it highly valuable in various applications. Gadolinium is widely used in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a contrast agent, enhancing the visibility of tissues and improving diagnostic accuracy. Its magnetic properties allow for clearer and more detailed imaging of organs and blood vessels. Gadolinium is also employed in neutron radiography, nuclear reactors, and as a moderator in nuclear power plants due to its ability to efficiently capture neutrons. Furthermore, gadolinium compounds are utilized in the production of phosphors for lighting, such as compact fluorescent lamps and X-ray screens. Its unique magnetic and medical properties make gadolinium a vital element in healthcare, imaging technology, and nuclear applications.
