Fe(III)meso-tetra(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphine (Fe-TPPS4) has been investigated as a potential pH-sensitive nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) proton image contrast agent. Relaxation rates (1/T1 and 1/T2) of water protons were measured as a function of pH and concentration of Fe-TPPS4 in phosphate-buffe
## Abstract A novel, radical responsive MRI contrast agent based on a gadolinium chelate conjugated to a liposome through a disulfide linker was synthesized, with the aim of pursuing the __in vivo__ mapping of radicals. The liposome was prepared by incorporating a thiolβactivated phospholipid, whic
## Abstract Magnetic resonance imaging contrast agents that are sensitive to pressure would be useful for evaluating cardiovascular function. One such potential contrast agent conslsts of gasβfiltod liposome microbubbles. The magnetic susceptibility of the microbubbles locally perturb the statte ma
## Abstract Tissue temperature is a fundamental physiological parameter that can provide insight into pathological processes. The purpose of this study was to develop and characterize a novel paramagnetic chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) agent suitable for in vivo temperature mapping at
