A model for MRI contrast enhancement using T1 agents.

Contrast in MRI relies on differences in the local environment of water and is often enhanced by using contrast agents. We present a simple model for evaluating the minimal contrast agent concentration required to produce "satisfactory" contrast enhancement in magnetic resonance images. Previous strategies have been based largely on empirical results for specific systems. The present tissue con...

MRI Contrast Enhancement using Gd2O3 Nanoparticles

There is an increasing interest for nanomaterials in biomedical applications and in this work, nanoparticles of gadolinium oxide (Gd2O3) have been investigated as a novel contrast agent for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Relaxation properties have been studied in aqueous solutions as well as in cell culture medium and the nanoparticles have been explored as cell labeling agents. The fluoresc...

Contrast agents for hepatic MRI

Liver specific contrast media (LSCM) can be subdivided according to different modalities of hepatic distribution: exclusive distribution to the hepatocellular compartment can be obtained using CM which accumulate within the hepatocytes after slow infusion; other CM demonstrate combined perfusion and hepatocyte-selective properties, with an initial distribution to the vascular-interstitial compa...

Controlling the dissolution of MnO nanocrystals for time-dependent T1 MRI contrast agents

Introduction: Nanostructured inorganic nanoparticles and core-shell structures can be used as MRI contrast agents with the advantages of flexible surface modification characteristics [1]. Manganese based nanoparticles have potential as agents that can be "activated" when taken into cells. For example, Mn oxides or Mn carbonates are insoluble at pH 7 but dissolve to release Mn at the lower pH fo...

Development of 153Sm-DTPA-SPION as a theranostic dual contrast agents in SPECT/MRI

Objective(s): This study describes the preparation, biodistribution of 153Sm-DTPA-SPION after intravenous injection in rats. Materials and Methods: The chelator DTPA dianhydride was conjugated to SPION using a small modification of the well-known cyclic anhydride method. Conjugation was done at a 1: 4 (SPION: ccDTPA) molar ratio. Conjugation reaction was purified with magnetic assorting column...
