Re: Gadolinium - okay to use in MRIs? As a general statement, the MRI without gadolinium is probably acceptable. There are times when gadolinium is important (looking at the spinal cord itself), but if looking for bone disease is the primary reason, no gadolinium is generally acceptable.
(Spa Castle) [UPDATE BELOW] The only downside to Spa Castleâa truly whimsical dreamscape filled with napping chambers, colorful saunas and poolside-mozzarella sticksâis that it's located in the remote (for some of us) land of College Point, Queens.
Up to a century ago it was renowned as a spa, with crowds of visitors frequenting it - crowds whose behaviour gave rise to the well-known song 'The Rakes of Mallow'. The old Mallow Castle stands in the middle of the town. Behind it stands the 'new' castle, a fine baronial building privately owned and superbly maintained. In the grounds you might catch a glimpse of a herd of white fallow deer.
