title: Study of manganese bacteriopheophorbide as a potential contrast agent for magnetic resonance tomography.
abstract: The use of manganese bacteriopheophorbide characterized by a high relaxation capacity and selectively accumulating in the tumor as a contrast agent for magnetic resonance tomography significantly improves tumor contrasting against the background of normal tissues. The pharmacokinetics and selectivity of accumulation were studied by diffuse reflection spectroscopy.
