Abstract: The invention relates to the use of perfluoroalkyl-containing metal complexes that have a critical micelle formation concentration <10−3 mol/l, a hydrodynamic micelle diameter (2 Rh)>1 nm and a proton relaxivity in plasma (R1)>10 l/mmol·s) as contrast media in MR imaging for visualization of plaque, lymph nodes, infarcted and necrotic tissue and for independent visualization of necrotic tissue and tumor tissue.

Abstract: The invention relates to new, monomeric, perfluoroalkyl-substituted metal complexes, processes for their production, and their use in diagnosis and therapy. The compounds according to the invention are suitable especially as in vivo contrast media in nuclear spin tomography (MRT). They can preferably be used as blood-pool agents and as lymphographic agents.
