Gd( DTPA)\*-(diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid) and the polyaza macrocyclic Gd(D0TA)-(1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-N,N',N",N) are paradigms of general purpose paramagnetic complexes useful for enhancing contrast in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). It is of both fundamental and practical interest
Colloidal iron oxides play an important role as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents. The superparamagnetic particles actually used are constituted by solid cores (diameter of 5-15 nm), generally coated by a thick polysaccharidic layer (hydrodynamic radii of 30-100 nm), and formulated by
