Gadolinium-containing endohedral fullerenes: structures and function as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) agents
Abstract
Gadolinium-containing endohedral fullerenes represent a new class of effective relaxation agents for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The range of different structures possible for this class of molecules and their properties as MRI agents are reviewed here.
