Design of a modular protein-based MRI contrast agent for targeted application.

Design of a modular protein-based MRI contrast agent for targeted application.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) offers a non-radioactive alternative for the non-invasive detection of tumours. Low molecular weight MRI contrast agents currently in clinical use suffer either from a lack of specificity for tumour tissue or from low relaxivity and thus low contrast amplification. I...
