Dysprosium density

Another hepatocyte-specific contrast formulation, dysprosium ethoxybenzyltris(carboxylatomethyl)triazaun-decanedioic acid diethylenetriaminepenta-acetic acid (Dy-EOB-DTPA), has been used for Uver CT imaging (266). It contains calcium-EOB-DTPA (0.5 mg/ml), tro-metamol (1.2 mg/ml), and hydrochloric acid (final pH 7.4). It has been described as a stable metal chelate with high tolerability in vitro and in animal studies, in which a long-lasting increase in CT density of about 30 Hounsfield units has been reported. A total of 40 healthy male volunteers (mean age 33 years) received intravenous infusions... 

Dysprosium has a metallic appearance with a shiny silver luster. The metal is so soft it is easily cut with a knife. It has a melting point of 2,565°F (1,407°G) and a boiling point of about 4,200°F (about 2,300°C). Dysprosium s density is 8.54 grams per cubic centimeter, about eight times that of water.
