Polymeric oral contrast agents for MR imaging of the gastrointestinal tract

Description

This paper develops polymeric MR T1 and T2 contrast agents to improve recognition of abnormal structures within the gastrointestinal tract. The T1 and T2 relaxivities of both the paramagnetic agent Gd-DTPA and supraparamagnetic ferrite particles were measured at 0.5 T in the absence and presence of varying concentrations of several water-soluble polymers, including polyethylene glycol (PEG), polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), cellulose, and cellulose/xanthan mixtures
