19F MR Characterization of Fluorinated Proteins and Relaxation Rate Enhancement with Gd-DTPA for Faster Imaging

  • Chapter
Chemists’ Views of Imaging Centers

Abstract

Proton magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a well established clinical modality, which provides excellent anatomical definition. The judicious use of magnetic resonance (MR) contrast agents enhances anatomical definition and novel agents with enhanced specificity are being developed. Currently, there is a major thrust to achieve functional imaging providing local physiological parameters with high temporal and spatial resolution.
