Unique paramagnetic liposomal contrast agents were synthesized and utilized for selective augmentation of TI MR imaging of the livers of normal Balb/c mice. Amphipathic gadolinium complexes, which mimic phospholipids, were incorporated into the lamella of small unilamellar liposomes (SUV) such that

## 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 thiolโactivated phospholipid, whic
## Abstract We describe a wellโtolerated blood pool contrast agent with extended reclrculatory halfโlife based on paramagnetic polymerized liposomes (PPLs). PPLs were constructed from a new type of polymerizable lipid molecule that has a derivative of gadopentetate dimeghimine as the hydrophilic he

## Abstract We develop a theoretical description of nuclear spin relaxation mediated by MRI contrast agents and transport processes in liposome systems. Such systems compartmentalize the physical space such that paramagnetic contrast agents, which enhance relaxation, are trapped in some subvolume.
