In Vivo Detection of PARACEST Agents With Relaxation Correction
Several pulse sequences have been used to detect paramagnetic chemical exchange saturation transfer (PARACEST) contrast agents in animals to quantify the uptake over time following a bolus injection. The observed signal change is a combination of relaxation effects and PARACEST contrast. The purpose of the current study was to isolate the PARACEST effect from the changes in bulk water relaxatio...
متن کاملIn vivo Detection of a PARACEST Agent in Mouse Brain Tumors
Introduction: Paramagnetic chemical exchange saturation transfer (PARACEST) contrast agents (1-3) are being developed for biological target identification by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Image contrast associated with PARACEST agents can be generated by radiofrequency (RF) irradiation of agent bound protons, or on-resonance irradiation of the bulk water protons (4). The observed image sign...
متن کاملDemonstrating the Influence of Magnetisation Transfer on Putative T1 Relaxation Times: a Simulation Study
Introduction Quantitative MRI (qMRI) is gaining impact in the MRI community as a whole and recently clinical applications have also been made available by scanner manufacturers. In particular, the use of qMRI for the characterisation of either exogenous (for example USPIO, CEST PARACEST) or endogenous (T1, T2, T2*, phase, temperature) contrasts, has led to increased scrutiny of the different fa...
متن کاملAnalytical determination of the chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) contrast in molecular magnetic resonance imaging
Magnetic resonance based on molecular imaging allows tracing contrast agents thereby facilitating early diagnosis of diseases in a non-invasive fashion that enhances the soft tissue with high spatial resolution. Recently, the exchange of protons between the contrast agent and water, known as the chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) effect, has been measured by applying a suitable pulse ...
متن کاملSeven-Coordinate CoII, FeII and Six-Coordinate NiII Amide-Appended Macrocyclic Complexes as ParaCEST Agents in Biological Media
The solution chemistry and solid-state structures of the Co(II), Fe(II), and Ni(II) complexes of 7,13-bis(carbamoylmethyl)-1,4,10-trioxa-7,13-diazacyclopentadecane (L) are reported as members of a new class of paramagnetic chemical exchange saturation transfer (paraCEST) MRI contrast agents that contain transition metal ions. Crystallographic data show that nitrogen and oxygen donor atoms of th...
