Gadolinium is used in scanning brain and thalium in GI, maybe I am wrong. the idea is from the questions I have read.

Gadolinium is similar to Fe3+.it can be intaken by the fast-growing tissue ,like tumor. therefore,gadothinium is used for tumor image. while thallium ,which can be absorbed by the myocarial cell through the sodium pump, reflect the activity of the myocardium.
