## Abstract Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) produces high‐resolution three‐dimensional maps delineating morphological features of the specimen. Differential contrast in soft tissues depends on endogenous differences in water content, relaxation times, and/or diffusion characteristics of the tissue
## Abstract E‐selectin‐targeted contrast enhancement of blood vessels in inflamed tissues was investigated with a new contrast agent, Gd‐DTPA‐B(sLe^x^)A, which was recently obtained by grafting a synthetic mimetic of sialyl‐Lewis^x^, an E‐selectin ligand, onto Gd‐DTPA. The pharmacokinetics, biodist
## Abstract Contrast‐enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (CE‐MRI) is a dynamic technique for imaging vasculature. However, the currently used gadolinium (Gd) chelates, such as Gd‐DTPA, restrict the time window for image acquisition due to their rapid elimination from blood and their rapid diffusion
