ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to water-soluble, lipophilic contrast-enhancing agents, pharmaceutical compositions thereof and methods for diagnostic analysis, particularly NMR or MRI analysis using these contrast-enhancing agents. The water-soluble, lipophilic contrast-enhancing agents are chelates of a paramagnetic, ferromagnetic or diamagnetic metal ion(s) complexed with completing acids which contain at least one short-chain fatty acyl moiety having from about 0 to about 6 carbon atoms in its structure.
