Although contrast agents have an essential role in non-invasive imaging techniques, potential side effects limit their use. For example, both low- and iso-osmolar iodinated contrast media used in ...

A specially coated iron oxide nanoparticle could provide an alternative to conventional gadolinium-based contrast agents used for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In rare cases, the currently used ...

(Phys.org)—A new type of nanoparticle-based MRI contrast agent demonstrates selectivity for tumor cells over non-cancerous cells, can detect hypoxia, and is sensitive enough allow for the detection of ...

Results of the Phase I clinical trial, presented at the bi-annual Contrast Media Research symposium in Oslo, Norway, conclude that this novel macrocyclic manganese-based contrast agent was well ...

Patients who need repeated MRI scans with contrast dye could soon receive a fraction of the gadolinium they currently get.

A group of researchers led by Leif Schroeder from the Leibniz-Forschungsinstitut fuer Molekulare Pharmakologie (FMP) have found a way to detect metastases in certain types of cancer in the brain at an ...

To enhance the visibility of organs as they are scanned with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), patients are usually injected with a compound known as a contrast agent before going into the scanner.
