Abstract
Gadolinium(Gd) containing (or incorporated) Prussian blue lattice contrast agents that can be used as an MRI contrast agent have unexpectedly improved rrelaxivities of 1 or 2 magnitudes higher than the commercial Gd-chelates as well as exceedingly, non-toxic, low release of the Gdions into an aqueous environment at a pH of about 2 to about 7.5. The Prussian blue lattice containing Gdions therein can be used for clinical diagnosis intravenously to human beings for medical imaging. The particle sizes of the doped Prussian blue lattices are of a nanosize scale and are very stable against agglomeration.
