Abstract
This chapter reviews new blood pool agents and studies performed to evaluat e them. The major differences between a variety of blood pool agents are id entified. These agents include large gadolinium (Gd)-labeled polymers, ultr asmall superparamagnetic particles of iron oxide (USPIO), and MS-325, a sma ll Gd chelate that binds to serum albumin (HAS). The chapter also outlines some early phase I trials on normal human subjects.
