3. Fig 2
Aggregated particles of gadolinium associated with a cell body of a probable macrophages located within dermal fibrosis in specimen 2D. Similar gadolinium deposition was noted in the fibrotic areas of specimen 4A and specimen 7A (not illustrated). (Field emission scanning electron microscope; original magnification: ×2000.)

4. Fig 3
In many specimens, small particles comprised of other metals were identified, such as this iron particle located 100 μm from a smaller deposit of gadolinium within specimen 2D. (Field emission scanning electron microscope; original magnification: ×700.)
