Medium sized molecules endowed with multiple Gd3+ complexes are efficient high magnetic field MRI contrast agents. The novel ligand Mes(DO3A)3, presenting three DO3A (1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-N,N′,N′′-triacetatic acid) units grafted on the methyl pos ...
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is one of the most powerful diagnostic techniques used in clinics. The need for higher spatial resoln. and better sensitivity led to the development of imagers working at high magnetic fields. The routine clin. use of 3 T M ...
Herein we present a theoretical investigation of the hyperfine coupling constants (HFCCs) on the inner-sphere water molecules of Gd(H2O)(8) and different Gd-III-based magnetic resonance imaging contrast agents such as Gd(DOTA)(H2O), [Gd(DTPA)(H2 ...
Middle-molecular-weight MRI contrast agents based on conjugates of a phosphinic acid DOTA analogue, 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-4,7,10-triacetic-1-{methyl[(4-aminophenyl) methyl] phosphinic acid} (DO3AP(ABn)), with amino-substituted cyclodextrins were p ...
Mn2+ complexes represent an alternative to Gd3+ chelates which are widely used contrast agents in magnetic resonance imaging. In this perspective, the authors studied the Mn2+ complexes of two 12-membered, pyridine-contg. macrocyclic ligands bearing one pe ...
Despite the powerful spectroscopic information it provides, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy suffers from a lack of sensitivity, especially when dealing with nuclei other than protons. Even though NMR can be applied in a straightforward manner ...
The search for higher spatial resolution and better sensitivity stimulates the development of high-field (3 T) and ultrahigh field (>3 T) MRI scanners. Gadolinium-based MRI contrast agents, commercial ones used in clinics, as well as recently developed mor ...
Hyperpolarization by dissolution dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) enhances Y-89 spin magnetization by 3 to 4 orders of magnitude and provides a way to monitor yttrium-ligand complexation "on the fly" by means of Y-89 NMR. In this communication, we show a ...
Magnetic resonance imaging contrast agents are currently designed by modifying their structural and physiochemical properties to improve relaxivity and to enhance image contrast. Here, we show a general method for increasing relaxivity by confining contras ...
