Contrast agents in dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging
Dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) is a noninvasive method to assess angiogenesis, which is widely used in clinical applications including diagnosis, monitoring therapy response and prognosis estimation in cancer patients. Contrast agents play a crucial role in DCE-MRI and should be carefully selected in order to improve accuracy in DCE-MRI examination. Over the past...
متن کاملDynamic imaging with MRI contrast agents: quantitative considerations.
Time-resolved MRI has had enormous impact in cognitive science and may become a significant tool in basic biological research with the application of new molecular imaging agents. In this paper, we examine the temporal characteristics of MRI contrast agents that could be used in dynamic studies. We consider "smart" T1 contrast agents, T2 agents based on reversible aggregation of superparamagnet...
متن کاملBright fluorescent nanoparticles for developing potential optical imaging contrast agents.
Fluorescent cross-linked nanoparticles with variable fluorophore loading amounts, locations, and particle sizes were synthesized from sequential one-pot functionalization/cross-linking of block copolymer micelles with amine-terminated dye and cross-linker molecules, via reductive amination and amidation. The fluorescence quantum yield and brightness of these nanoparticles were evaluated by stea...
متن کاملEvaluation of microbubble contrast agents for dynamic imaging with x-ray phase contrast
X-rays are commonly used as a means to image the inside of objects opaque to visible light, as their short wavelength allows penetration through matter and the formation of high spatial resolution images. This physical effect has found particular importance in medicine where x-ray based imaging is routinely used as a diagnostic tool. Increasingly, however, imaging modalities that provide functi...
متن کاملMolecular imaging with targeted contrast agents.
Molecular imaging with targeted contrast agents by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) allows for the noninvasive detection and characterization of biological changes on a molecular level. In this article, the principles of molecular MRI and its applications in cardiovascular diseases are reviewed. First, basic properties of positive and negative contrast agents are introduced and their effect on ...
