Paramagnetic Contrast Agents in MRI: A Review

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a powerful, non-invasive imaging technique widely used in medical diagnostics. However, its inherent inability to differentiate between certain tissues can limit its diagnostic capabilities, especially when distinguishing between subtle tissue differences. To overcome these limitations, contrast agents are employed to enhance the images produced by MRI and improve the clarity and accuracy of the results. This review delves into the role, types, and advancements of paramagnetic contrast agents in MRI.
