Objectives: This study aimed to determine the changes during ischemia in the myocardial first-pass kinetics of DTPA, an extracellular tracer that is currently used for assessing myocardial perfusion with magnetic resonance imaging (Magnevist).
Materials And Methods: Using an indicator-dilution technique, first-pass kinetics of DTPA were compared between normoxia (n=11) and low-flow ischemia (n=11) in isolated rabbit hearts perfused with red blood cell-enhanced perfusate.
Results: There was no difference between ischemia and normoxia in the interstitial extraction and clearance rates of DTPA. Interstitial distribution volume of DTPA was, however, lower in ischemia than in normoxia (in percent of myocardial volume: 15+/-11% vs 25+/-11%, P=0.02) as a result of a relationship with coronary flow (P<0.001).
Conclusions: During low-flow myocardial ischemia, DTPA kinetics are unchanged, except for the interstitial distribution volume that is decreased, presumably because of the shrinkage of extracellular fluid. These kinetic properties are favorable for detecting myocardial ischemia at rest with magnetic resonance imaging.

Traditional macromolecules or nanoscale Mn chelate-based magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents (CAs) suffer from complicated and laborious synthesis processes, relatively low kinetic stability and relaxivity, limiting their clinical applications. Herein, we fabricated a series of kinetically inert Mn chelate-backboned polymers, P(MnL-PEG), through a facile and one-pot polymerization process. Particularly, P(MnL-PEG)-3 demonstrates a significantly higher relaxivity of 23.

Article Synopsis
- The experimental electron density distribution of the [C(NH)][Gd(EDTA)F]·HO crystal was analyzed using both experimental and theoretical methods, focusing on Gd-O, Gd-F, and Gd-N interactions.
- The study revealed that the covalency of Gd-L bonds is primarily influenced by charge transfer from ligand orbitals to the Gd cation's orbitals, with different extents of charge donation noted based on coordination number.
- Findings indicated a correlation between Gd(III)-L bond energy and covalency, suggesting that these characteristics can impact the behavior of f-element bonding, potentially affecting the partitioning processes of lanthanides and actinides.

Hepatobiliary-specific magnetic resonance imaging contrast agents (MRI CAs) play a crucial role in the early diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, only two acyclic CAs, Gd-BOPTA and Gd-EOB-DTPA, exhibit unfavorable kinetic inertness. Our study focused on the development of superior stable innovative macrocyclic CAs.

Purpose: Quantitative MRI enables direct quantification of contrast agent concentrations in contrast-enhanced scans. However, the lengthy scan times required by conventional methods are inadequate for tracking contrast agent transport dynamically in mouse brain. We developed a 3D MR fingerprinting (MRF) method for simultaneous T and T mapping across the whole mouse brain with 4.

Background And Purpose: Analysis of vessel wall contrast kinetics (ie, wash-in/washout) is a promising method for the diagnosis and risk-stratification of intracranial atherosclerotic disease plaque (ICAD-P) and the intracranial aneurysm walls (IA-W). We used black-blood MR imaging or MR vessel wall imaging to evaluate the temporal relationship of gadolinium contrast uptake kinetics in ICAD-Ps and IA-Ws compared with normal anatomic reference structures.
Materials And Methods: Patients with ICAD-Ps or IAs who underwent MR vessel wall imaging with precontrast, early postcontrast (5-15 minutes), and delayed postcontrast (20-30 minutes) 3D T1-weighted TSE sequences were retrospectively studied.
