Abstract
A diagnostic medical magnetic resonance imaging and quantitative method for use with human and veterinary subjects in the diagnostic evaluation of normal, altered or diseased status of tissues and fluids containing lipids and or proteins by physically combining stable xenon and/or stable krypton in lipid and lipid containing structures in which they are soluble and physically combining stable xenon and/or stable krypton in protein structures comprised of molecules having nuclei with dipole moments which are altered by their physical incorporation of stable xenon and/or stable krypton in their structures when exposed to a magnetic field thus providing positive contrast enhancement to an image produced by magnetic resonance and the ability to quantify and measure physiology by magnetic resonance.
