The invention relates to a process for preparing a liquid pharmaceutical formulation containing a complex of macrocyclic chelate with a lanthanide and a mol/mol amount of free macrocyclic chelate of between 0.002% and 0.4%, advantageously between 0.02% and 0.3% and very advantageously between 0.025% and 0.25%, the macrocyclic chelate advantageously being chosen from DOTA, NOTA, DOTAGA, D03A, BT-D03A, HP-D03A and PCTA, and is preferably DOTA, the said process comprising the following successive steps: b) preparation of a liquid pharmaceutical composition containing, firstly, the complex of macrocyclic chelate with a lanthanide, and, secondly, free macrocyclic chelate and/or free lanthanide; c) measurement in the pharmaceutical formulation obtained in step b) of the concentration of free macrocyclic chelate Cchl and/or of free lanthanide Ciani; d) adjustment of Cchl and/or of Ciani so as to obtain Cchl=Ct chi and Ciani=0, wherein Ct chi is the target concentration of free macrocyclic chelate in the final liquid pharmaceutical formulation.

Iodinated polymers, processes for preparing them and their applications

The subject of the invention is nitrogen-containing cyclic ligands and metal complexes formed by these ligands, the uses of these complexes as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) agents, as X-ray contrast agents and as chemical shift reagents in vivo.
