ABSTRACT:
An MRI contrast medium of improved safety and efficacy is disclosed. The composition includes a source of calcium ions and a source of manganese ions in a ratio of from 2:1 to 40:1 in a vehicle suitable for parenteral administration. A method of enhancing an MRI signal in a mammalian tissue with the foregoing composition is also provided.
