Abstract
A number of bioresponsive MRI contrast agents have been developed, with the aim of producing the maximal signal difference for a given biological event. This paper introduces an approach which substantially improves the detection of physiological events with fast kinetics. A nanosized, calcium-sensitive dendrimeric probe was developed and characterized by means of a balanced steady-state free precession imaging protocol. Results show an almost four times greater contrast gain per unit of time as compared to conventional T1-weighted imaging with small sized contrast agents. Consequently, this ratiometric methodology has a profound significance for future studies of biological dynamic processes by means of MRI.
