In vivo mitochondrial labeling using positively-charged nitroxide enhanced and gadolinium chelate enhanced magnetic resonance imaging

摘要

A system and method for acquiring MR imaging data from a subject includes administering positively-charged nitroxides or gadolinium chelates for in vivo mitochondrial labeling, acquiring MR imaging data from the subject, and reconstructing an image of the subject having enhanced contrast in areas including metabolic and/or mitotic activity.
