Use of perfluoroalkyl-containing metal complexes as contrast media in MR-imaging for visualization of plaque, tumors and necroses

摘要

The invention relates to the use of perfluoroalkyl-containing metal complexes that have a critical micelle formation concentration<10<-3 >mol/l, a hydrodynamic micelle diameter (2 Rh)>1 nm and a proton relaxivity in plasma (R<1>)>10 I/mmol.s) as contrast media in MR imaging for visualization of plaque, lymph nodes, infarcted and necrotic tissue and for independent visualization of necrotic tissue and tumor tissue.
