A novel MRI contrast agent synthesized by ion exchange method
Objective: In this study, the zeolite-coated iron oxide nanoparticles were evaluated as MRI contrast agent and effect of the nanocomposite synthesis method on MRI contrast was tested. Materials and Methods: Ion exchange method was used for synthesis of iron oxide-zeolite and the as prepared nanocomposite was characterized by XRD, FESEM and TEM. The nanocomposite toxicity in the cell culture, a...
متن کاملReceptor-mediated Uptake of an Enzyme-activated Mri Contrast Agent
In recent report (Nature Biotechnology 2000, 16:321-325) we presented a new approach for obtaining high resolution in vivo images of gene expression using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We prepared MRI contrast agents in which the access of water to the fust coordination sphere of a chelated paramagnetic ion is blocked with a galactopyranose residue that can he cleaved by beta-galactosidase,...
متن کاملQuantitative Evaluation of Contrast Agent Dynamics in Liver MRI
Published articles have been reprinted with the permission of the copyright holder. Abstract ABSTRACT The studies presented here evaluate the biliary, parenchymal and vascular enhancement effects of two T1-shortening liver-specific contrast agents, Gd-BOPTA and Gd-EOB-DTPA, in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of healthy subjects and of patients. Ten healthy volunteers were examined with both co...
متن کاملQuantitative evaluation of contrast agent uptake in standard fat‐suppressed dynamic contrast‐enhanced MRI examinations of the breast
PURPOSE To propose a method to quantify T1 and contrast agent uptake in breast dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) examinations undertaken with standard clinical fat-suppressed MRI sequences and to demonstrate the proposed approach by comparing the enhancement characteristics of lobular and ductal carcinomas. METHODS A standard fat-suppressed DCE of the breast was performed at 1.5 T (Siemens Aera...
متن کاملResection for Colorectal Liver Metastases
Colorectal cancer is the third most frequent cancer in the Western world. About half of the patients develop synchronous or metachronous metastases. The liver is the most common site of such metastases and thus hepatic metastatic disease is a significant socio-medical problem. If it is not treated, the median patient survival is only some months. Surgical resection is the treatment of choice fo...
