As an alternative to standard surgical resection for the treatment of malignant tumors,
radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has rapidly evolved into the most popular minimally invasive …

The purpose of this review is to outline recent trends in contrast agent development for
magnetic resonance imaging. Up to now, small molecular weight gadolinium chelates are …

PURPOSE: To measure the fractional distribution volume of gadopentetate dimeglumine in
normal and reperfused infarcted myocardium at magnetic resonance (MR) imaging by using …

Differential enhancement of myocardial infarction was first recognized on computed
tomographic (CT) images obtained with iodinated contrast material in the late 1970s …

Background—Because ischemically injured myocardium is frequently composed of viable
and nonviable portions, a method to discriminate the two is useful for clinical management …

The traditional role of lipids in the generation of lipid-based supramolecular structures has
predominantly been to serve as building blocks to support the delivery or stabilization of a …

A review of contrast agents used for magnetic resonance imaging was made with regard to
methods of drug delivery using published literature. Since the clinical approval of Gd-DTPA …

Mn (III) porphyrins have great potential as Gd-free MRI contrast agents because both the
cation and the ligand have interesting properties. The redox properties of the Mn (III)-ion can …

During the last decades, a wide range of molecular and cellular imaging techniques have
been developed and optimized, resulting in important progress in the understanding of …

The use of manganese‐based MRI contrast materials, either manganese salts or chelates,
has spanned the entire timeframe of cardiac MRI. However interest in Mn compounds for …
