A new magnetic resonance imaging contrast agent being tested by researchers not only pinpoints breast cancers at early stages but differentiates between aggressive and slow-growing types. A new ...

At this year’s European Congress of Radiology (ECR) in Vienna, Bayer presented new data on a contrast agent that could ...

Scientists at the Institute of Chemistry have developed a new type of contrast agent for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)—bovine serum albumin nanoparticles doped with manganese (II) ions. The results ...

Photoacoustic imaging has gained global attention for capturing images without causing pains or using ionizing radiation. Recently, many researchers have heavily studied on observing deep tissues to ...

Experiments in dogs, rabbits and monkeys show the efficacy and biocompatibility of a new MRI/MRA contrast agent in detecting stroke. This T1 MRI contrast agent based on ultrasmall iron oxide ...

One of the most widely used drugs in the world isn't really a drug, at least not in the usual sense. It's more like a dye. Physicians call this drug "contrast," shorthand for contrast agent. Contrast ...

MRI contrast agents, which are typically gadolinium-based, are used to enhance visualization of abnormal structures or lesions and to aid differentiation between healthy and pathological tissue. This ...

A new magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agent being tested by researchers at Case Western Reserve University not only pinpoints breast cancers at early stages but differentiates between ...
