摘要:
A method for MRI imaging to obtain information about a local physiochemical parameter after administration to a patient of a contrast agent including at least one non-responsive contrast enhancing entity that does not occur naturally in a human body and at least one responsive contrast enhancing entity attached to or mixed with the non-responsive contrast enhancing entity. By using such non-responsive contrast enhancing entities, a value for the physicochemical parameter can be obtained by acquiring only three images, providing a method which will be easier to apply in a clinical routine, since it will be faster and less sensitive to motion or flow artifacts.
