Magnetic Resonance Contrast Agents

Abstract

Contrast agents for cardiovascular imaging are used to enhance the capability of MRI and MRA. Since the advent of the first commercially available MR contrast agent (Gd-DTPA) at the end of the 1980s, investigators have made many advances in contrast-enhanced cardiovascular imaging, most importantly in the detection and characterization of ischemic myocardial injuries and vascular stenosis.
