  • Compositions and methods for magnetic resonance imaging contrast agents
    Patent number: 8021646
    Abstract: The present application provides for compositions and methods of creating and applying contrast agents that find use in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In particular, contrast agents that comprise monodisperse, protein polymer backbones capable of chelating multiple paramagnetic ions resulting in high relaxivity for use in enhancing MRI signal intensity.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 7, 2007
    Date of Patent: September 20, 2011
    Assignee: Northwestern University
    Inventors: Lindsay K. Sulzer, Steven R. Bull, Annelise Emily Barron, Thomas J Meade
