ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a novel paramagnetic metal-phthalocyanine complexes and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, which are useful as contrast agents for MRI(Magnetic Resonance Imaging), diagnostic X-ray imaging and computed tomography(CT).The present invention also provides contrast agents for imaging, comprising the new paramagnetic metal-phthalocyanine complexes. The new contrast agents of the present invention show high imaging enhancement effects at lower concentration and are safer than the previously reported contrast agents.
