manganese-based MRI contrast agent RVP-001
A contrast agent formulation based on the paramagnetic ion Mn2+, stabilized by the chelator PyC3A, that can potentially be used as a contrast enhancer during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Upon administration, manganese-based contrast agent RVP-001 may enhance the visualization of blood vessels, organs and tumors upon MRI.
