ABSTRACT:
A method and contrast agent for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of abscess. Granulocytes are separated from whole blood and incubated with an imaging vehicle such as magnetite. The granulocytes encapsulate the imaging vehicle and are suspended in an intravascularly administrable carrier to form the contrast agent. The contrast agent is highly specific for MRI of abscess.
