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

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 DTPA bisamide macrocycles and the bile salt-like hepatobiliary targeted contrast agents.
