Gd-EOB-DO3A is prepared according to the general synthetic methods, and characterized by spectroscopic analysis. The relaxivities are r1 = 8.07, r2 = 8.57 mM-1s-1. From in vivo T1-weighted MR images, we observe good liver-specific enhancement that can be compared with commercial liver targeting agents, and confirm the biliary excretion via gallbladder. Also the kinetic stability of the gadolinium complex was determined with time-dependent longitudinal relaxation rate (R1,p(t)/R1,p(0)) and the relaxation was maintained above 70% against to initial value during the measurement.
