Contrast agents in magnetic resonance imaging.
The author gives a brief overview of the basic mechanisms of action of contrast enhancing agents in MR imaging and discusses agents currently available, and agents soon to be available, under the classification: extra-cellular fluid space marker agents, hepatobiliary agents and oral agents. Likely future developments in these and other areas are briefly surveyed.
