2. Fig. 1
Gadolinium concentration in plasma over time in (closed diamonds) five obese (Mean BMI: 37) and (open squares) five non-obese (Mean BMI: 26) individuals. The concentration was higher in the obese subjects (P<0.001) but the relative difference between the two groups was similar over time indicating similar elimination rates. The data agree well with prior data (in red) reported by Weinmann et al.17.

Correlation between BMI and [Gd-DTPA2−] at 60min post-injection, R=0.58, P= The equation of the regression line, y=0.0075x+0.366, is used to calculate dosing bias between individuals with different BMI.

4. Fig. 3
Correlation between the dGEMRIC Index and BMI in asymptomatic subjects before (shaded circles) and after (open circles) dose bias correction in (a) medial and (b) lateral cFC. The lines represent best-fit linear regression analyses. No significant correlation was found after correction for dose bias.

5. Fig. 4
Correlation between the dGEMRIC Index and BMI in OA subjects before (shaded circles) and after (open circles) dose bias correction in unnarrowed (a) and narrowed (b) compartments. The lines represent best-fit linear regression analyses. There is a strong negative correlation between the dGEMRIC Index and BMI in unnarrowed compartments that persists after correction for dose bias.

6. Fig. 5
Bias in T1(Gd) as a result of Gd-DTPA2− dose bias. For a given GAG level, T1(Gd) should be constant across BMI if dose bias was not present. The graph shows the variation in T1(Gd) due to dose bias for [GAG]=0 (shaded circles), 30 (open circles), 60 (shaded triangles), and 90 (open triangles) mg/ml. The slopes of the regression lines are nearly the same across a wide range of GAG levels: m=−2.5, −2.9, −3.1, and −3.2ms/BMI, respectively.
