ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides compositions comprising a contrast agent capable of reversibly binding to thiol groups of blood-borne proteins. The compositions of the invention provide increased residence time of the contrast agent in the vasculature, thus providing effective blood pool contrast agents. The invention also provides methods for imaging a patient comprising administering a composition of the invention and obtaining an image.
