Fe-HBED Analogs: A Promising Class of Iron-Chelate Contrast Agents for Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Figure 4

Tissue signal enhancement of contrast agents in the kidney cortex and liver in naïve mice. Quantified SE is given for Fe-1, Fe-2, and Gd-1 in the kidney cortex (a) and in the liver (c). Mean with value; individual data points. Data labels are the mean. Corresponding images of preinjection (left) and 5 minutes postinjection (right) for the mouse representing median enhancement for each agent group for the kidney (b) and liver (d). The window and level of the images are scaled for uniformity. Arrows denote the left kidney cortex (b) and liver (d).
