Contrast agents for NMR imaging
Patent
·
OSTI ID:5084480
Magnetic resonance imaging contrast agents for scanning tissue are described comprising bilayer vesicles with paramagnetic material encapsulated therein. The vesicles are formulated with an agent to promote vesicle stability for a sufficient time to allow biodistribution of the vesicles for scanning of the tissue and formulated to permit adequate water proton exchange across the vesicle bilayer to provide contrast for scanning the tissue.
