Agents containing magnetic particles are suitable for use in enhancing images in diagnostic procedures, e.g., via x-ray, ultrasound or especially NMR. Preferred particles are based on metals, e.g., iron, cobalt or nickel, double metal oxides/hydroxides or complexes thereof.

Magnetic particles for diagnostic purposes

A diagnostic medium contains at least one physiologically well tolerated complex salt comprising an anion of a complexing acid and one or more central ion or ions of an element with an atomic number of 21 to 29, 42, 44 or 57 to 83 and, optionally, one or more physiologically biocompatible cation or cations of an inorganic and/or organic base or amino acid, optionally, with additives customary in galenic formulations, dissolved or suspended in an aqueous medium.

A diagnostic medium contains at least one physiologically well tolerated complex salt comprising an anion of a complexing acid and one or more Gadolinium ions and, optionally, one or more physiologically biocompatible cation or cations of an inorganic and/or organic base or amino acid, optionally, with additives customary in galenic formulations, dissolved or suspended in an aqueous medium.

Agents useful for influencing the relaxation times in NMR diagnostics, contain at least one paramagnetic, physiologically compatible complex salt comprising a chelate from an open-chain or cyclic complex-forming compound containing organic nitrogen, phosphorus, oxygen and/or sulfur, and a complexed ion of the lanthanide elements of atomic number 57-70 or of the transition metals of atomic numbers 21-29, 42 and 44, and, optionally, an inorganic or organic base or acid, wherein said chelate complex is bound to a biomolecule.
