19F MRI is potentially an interesting tool for diffusion
or perfusion measurements, and for cell tracking. It
requires biocompatible and non-toxic contrast agents
with high fluorine ion concentration with suitable
relaxation times. We synthesized and tested both in
vitro and in vivo probes based on DOTP chelates with 12
equivalent fluorine ions and a lanthanoid ion, which
substantially shortens relaxation times. Measuring
sequences were optimized for each chelated lanthanoid.
