## Abstract The structures of polydisulfideโbased biodegradable macromolecular Gd(III) complexes were modified to improve their in vivo retention time and MRI contrast enhancement. Steric hindrance was introduced around the disulfide bonds to control their access to free thiols in order to alter th
## Abstract ## Purpose To evaluate the utility of dynamic contrast enhancement (DCE) MRI for distinguishing among benign, borderline and invasive epithelial ovarian tumors. ## Materials and Methods We analyzed preoperative MRI studies of 37 patients with ovarian epithelial tumors (10 benign, 11
