Title:
DIAGNOSTIC REAGENT FOR NUCLEAR MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGINATION
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2003/028769
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A diagnostic reagent for nuclear magnetic resonance imagination, characterized in that it is an aqueous solution being acceptable to an organism and containing, as an active component, a molecule having a hydrogen atom bonded directly with a quadrupole nucleus, wherein the aqueous solution exhibits a T2 relaxation degree of 0.1 s−1atom%−1 or more. The diagnostic reagent for nuclear magnetic resonance imagination has an enhanced T2 relaxation degree and exhibits a little effect on an organism even when administrated rapidly in a large amount, and thus can be used for obtaining stable information on the tissue perfusion in nuclear magnetic resonance imaging or nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
