Abstract
There is provided a method of electron spin resonance enhanced magnetic resonance imaging of a human or non-human animal body, characterised in that said method comprises administering to said body a physiologically tolerable ionic or ionizable paramagnetic substance capable of associating with a cell membrane lipid.
Claims18
A method of electron spin resonance enhanced magnetic resonance imaging of repetitive biological electromagnetic activity in a human or non-human animal body, said method comprising the steps of administering to said body a physiologically tolerable paramagnetic substance capable of associating with a cell membrane lipid, the paramagnetic substance being selected from the group comprising ionic or ionisable materials, and synchronizing magnetic response signal generation and detection with said repetitive biological electromagnetic activity.
A method of electron spin resonance enhanced magnetic resonance imaging of repetitive biological electromagnetic activity in a human or non-human animal body, said method comprising administering to said body a physiologically tolerable paramagnetic substance capable of associating with a cell membrane lipid, the paramagnetic substance being selected from a group of such materials which are ionic or ionisable, subjecting the animal body to a stimulus to provoke the biological electromagnetic activity, and detecting said biological electromagnetic activity.
