The contrast agent complexes preferably have a net positive charge, and can electrostatically interact with glycosaminoglycans to improve the delineation of fine tears within cartilage, detection of cartilage degeneration, or assessment of cartilage thickness, morphology, or glycosaminoglycan content via magnetic resonance imaging.
