ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to contrast enhancing agents, conjugates thereof, pharmaceutical compositions thereof, and methods for diagnostic analysis, particularly NMR image analysis using these agents. The contrast enhancing agents are chelates of paramagnetic, ferromagnetic or diamagnetic metal ion(s) complexed with new lipophilic complexing acids related to polyaminopolycarboxylic acids.
