ABSTRACT:
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) imaging of body organs and tissues is enhanced by administering to a living animal body a substantially nontoxic paramagnetic image altering agent comprised of a composition containing a chelate of a paramagnetic element, such as manganese, gadolinium or iron, carried by a liposome. The chelate is carried by or within the external surface of the liposome in such a manner that after arrival at or delivery to the desired organ or tissue site, the paramagnetic image altering agent is released in a diagnostically useful fashion.
