EuII-containing cryptates as contrast agents for ultra-high field strength magnetic resonance imaging

Abstract

The relaxivity (contrast-enhancing ability) of EuII-containing cryptates was found to be better than a clinically approved GdIII-based agent at 7 T. These cryptates are among a few examples of paramagnetic substances that show an increase in longitudinal relaxivity, r1, at ultra-high field strength relative to lower field strengths.
