Liver-specific contrast agents
نویسنده
چکیده
In the patient with cancer, magnetic resonance imaging is increasingly used as a diagnostic tool for disease detection, lesion characterization, as well as the assessment of treatment response. Although non-contrast T1-weighted and T2-weighted imaging, together with low molecular weight extracellular gadolinium contrast-enhanced T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging remain the cornerstone for liver assessment, there is increasing recognition of the benefits of liver-specific contrast agents for disease evaluation.

Purpose: To recognize affective factors in delivering X-ray contrast agents (which have high atomic number) via gallium carrier to liver or lymphatic neoplasm cells. Materials and Methods: Since uptake of gallium by liver has been reported in numerous researches, it was bonded with a contrast media (metrizoate). X-ray imaging was done to determine geometric features of liver. Results: Rad...
