I have a brain ct angio wth contrast and an mri with gadolinium, a week later. i am worried about the gadolinium because it's a metal. thanks.

When to worry: If you have some kidney disease, fully avoid, as things can get worse, rapidly. If you have allergy, this too is a problem. Otherwise, rather safe, and rare to have any problem.
