ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a method for the Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy Imaging of a substrate molecule different from water wherein the NMR signal is enhanced by a reversible binding of the substrate molecule to a paramagnetic chelate complex, as well as to the use of a paramagnetic chelate complex in said method and the pharmaceutical composition for use therein.
