01
Overview
A "magnetic resonance imaging enhancer" is any compound that increases image clarity during an MRI scan by modifying tissue proton relaxation characteristics through its own strong magnetic properties. The term encompasses several classes—most notably gadolinium chelates and superparamagnetic particles—with diverse applications across medical diagnostics.
