title: Metalloporphyrin contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging of human tumors in mice.
abstract: Enhanced contrast of transplanted human colon carcinoma in athymic mice is seen in magnetic resonance images upon iv injection of the complexes of Mn(III) with two water-soluble porphyrins, tetra (4-sulfonatophenyl) porphyrin and tetra (N-methyl-4-pyridyl) porphyrin.
