  1. Fluorinated Metal Complexes as MRI Contrast Agents

    Weitz, Evan2015

    Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a vital tool in today’s modern healthcare system. MRI is preferred over positron emission tomography (PET) and X-ray computed tomography (CT) because it is non-invasive, non-radioactive, and provides 3-D imaging directly in vivo. Contrast agents are used in order …

  5. Engineering genetically-encodable MRI contrast agents for in vivo imaging

    Matsumoto, Yuri, Ph. D. Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyMassachusetts Institute of Technology2014

    Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is gaining recognition as a powerful tool in biological research, offering non-invasive access to anatomy and activity at high spatial and temporal resolution. However, the range of biological phenomena accessible to measurement by MRI is limited, due to a current …

  6. The design, syntheses, and physico-chemical studies of MRI contrast agents

    Marumoto, Alan KazunariUniversity of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign2011

    Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a popular and powerful clinical diagnostic tool. The development of MRI contrast agents allows for even greater diagnostic ability. This thesis will address the design, syntheses and physico-chemical studies of two specific classes of MRI contrast agents: the …

  7. Novel MRI Contrast Agents Based on Functional DNA and Nanomaterial Conjugates for Biomedical Applications

    Yigit, Mehmet VeyselUniversity of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign2015

    Finally, we have demonstrated that the fluorescein encapsulated one micron liposomes can be used to detect inorganic mercury in water. At the same time, we have shown that chelators of inorganic mercury can be encapsulated in liposomes and released upon mercury detection.

    Tucker, Benjamin J.University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign2010

    MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) has brought great advances to diagnostic medicine, especially with the use of contrast agent (CA’s) for comparison of images with and without contrast. Since the first use of Gd III CA’s in imaging in the early 1980’s, the chemistry and physics of these CA’s have …
