Composite MR contrast agents for conditional cell-labeling
Gadolinium-chelates (Gd-DTPA) and superparamagnetic particles of iron oxide (SPIO) are two commonly used MR contrast agents that exhibit inherently different relaxation properties. These two agents have been used to label cells ex-vivo to generate signal contrast with respect to background tissue when introduced to a tissue-of-interest. Assuming minimal mutual interaction between these two agen...
متن کاملCell Labeling via Membrane-Anchored Lipophilic MR Contrast Agents
Cell tracking in vivo with MR imaging requires the development of contrast agents with increased sensitivity that effectively label and are retained by cells. Most clinically approved Gd(III)-based contrast agents require high incubation concentrations and prolonged incubation times for cellular internalization. Strategies to increase contrast agent permeability have included conjugating Gd(III...
متن کاملMR Contrast Agents
Despite the excellent soft tissue contrast pro› vided by plain MRI, the use of intravascular contrast agents is often performed in a variety of clinical settings being an instrumental component of many MR studies. Several compounds have been developed for contrast-enhanced MR imaging of the abdomen, with the purpose of increasing tumor detection and differentiation between normal and pathologic...

متن کاملSynthesis and Application of New Gadolinium-Porphyrins as Potential MR Imaging Contrast Agents for Cancer Detection in Nude Mice
Two new potential magnetic resonance imaging contrast agents, Gd-hematoporphyrin (Gd-H) and Gd-tetra-carboranylmethoxyphenyl-porphyrin (Gd TCP), were synthesized and applied to nude mice with human melanoma (MM 138) xenografts. These agents showed a high relaxivity because of their greater potential to coordinate water molecules. The reduction of T1 relaxation times of 16 and 21% was observed i...
