    摘要: Manganese coordination complexes with utility as magnetic resonance probes and as biological reductant sensors are disclosed. In one embodiment, ligands can stabilize both the Mn2+ and Mn3+ oxidation states. In the presence of a reductant such as glutathione, low relaxivity MnIII-HBET is rapidly converted to high relaxivity MnII-HBET with a 3-fold increase in relaxivity, and concomitant increase in magnetic resonance signal. In another embodiment, ligands were designed to chelate Mn(ll) in a thermodynamically stable and kinetically inert fashion while allowing for direct interaction of Mn(ll) with water. In yet another embodiment, high molecular weight multimers containing six Mn(ll) chelators were prepared. The high molecular weight results in slower tumbling of the molecules in solution and can strongly enhance the Mn(ll) relaxivity.

    摘要: A system acquires MR imaging data of a portion of patient anatomy associated with proton spin lattice relaxation time in a rotating frame using an RF (Radio Frequency) signal generator configured to generate RF excitation pulses and a magnetic field gradient generator configured to generate anatomical volume select magnetic field gradients for phase encoding and readout RF data acquisition. The RF signal generator and the gradient generator are configured to provide a rotating frame preparation pulse sequence comprising at least one of, (a) a T1 spin lattice relaxation in a rotating frame (T1ρ) preparation pulse sequence of adiabatic pulses comprising modulated RF pulses and modulated magnetic field gradients for slice selection and (b) a T2 spin-spin relaxation in a rotating frame (T2ρ) preparation pulse sequence of adiabatic pulses comprising modulated RF pulses and modulated magnetic field gradients for slice selection.

    摘要: In part, the invention relates to fiduciary markers suitable for affixing to a patient that are detectable with respect an imaging modality such as MRI and methods of making the same. The markers include a paramagnetic material disposed therein that generates a distinguishable signal relative to a patient or other biological sample of interest during an imaging data collection session. Further, the markers demonstrate desirable signal to noise ratios across two or more MRI data collection procedures in one embodiment. The length of the markers is also adjustable by, for example, cutting or tearing a substrate upon which a substantially fluid-free region straddles a specified separation position on the substrate.
