## 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 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
Progress in the development of target-specific paramagnetic MR contrast agents has been limited by the fact that large quantities of paramagnetic ions (e.g., gadolinium, dysprosium, manganese) need to be attached to target-specific camer molecules, a concept which often is not feasible without alter
