Abstract

See full text

Methods and compositions are disclosed for enhancing .sup.19 F magnetic resonance imaging which utilize .sup.19 F magnetic resonance contrast media having enhanced .sup.19 F relaxivity. Fluorine-containing compounds having enhanced .sup.19 F relaxation properties resulting from direct association with an unpaired spin are disclosed. The fluorine-containing compound is associated with the unpaired spin by covalent attachment of a stable free radical, by complexation of a fluorinated complexing agent with a paramagnetic metal ion, or by salt formation or charge neutralization of a paramagnetic ion.
