Abstract |
We designed small molecular T2 MRI contrast agent for liver diagnosis with dysprosium. Among lanthanide metals, dysprosium has largest magnetic moment and curie relaxation effect in ultra-high magnetic field. Then, it can be used for useful T2 contrast agent replaces iron nanoparticles. The synthesized compounds were confirmed by analytical spectroscopic methods. The relaxivity was obtained with inversion recovery and multi slice multi echo sequence: 9.4 T (400 MHz, bruker, Germany). Image parameters for in vivo experiment are as follows: TR = 2500 msec; TE = 18.33msec; 35 × 35 × 30 mm FOV; 128 ×128 ×30 matrix; 1.0 mm slice thickness; RARE factor = 8; scan time = 40 sec.
The relaxivities in 9.4 T are 0.31, 2.60 mM-1s-1. This field-dependence relaxivity is due to increasing of curie relaxation portion that increases over external magnetic field especially in T2 relaxation. From these relaxivity results, in vivo enhancement shows 30% negative contrast enhancement than pre images.
The results show that this small complex might be useful as T2 agent in ultra-high field MRI. In addition, it is also demonstrated that is valuable to diagnose liver cancer with hepatobiliary property.
