MRI MARKERS, DELIVERY AND EXTRACTION SYSTEMS, AND RELATED METHODS

摘要

Inadequate contrast and imaging agents used in enhanced imaging modalities and systems lead to poor quality implants and subsequent decrease in cure rates with increased side effects. In this invention, novel, rendered non-toxic cobalt based contrast and imaging agents for use in enhanced imaging modalities and systems are described, as well as the method of making an imaging system of markers containing such contrast agents having a metal ion including cobalt and one or more of a ligand selected from halides, amino acids or a combination thereof.
