Parameters of relevance to oximetry with Overhauser magnetic resonance imaging (OMRI)
have been measured for three single electron contrast agents of the triphenylmethyl type.
The single electron contrast agents are stable and water soluble. Magnetic resonance
properties of the agents have been examined with electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR),
nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) at 9.5 mT in
water, isotonic saline, plasma, and blood at 23 and 37° C. The relaxivities of the agents are …
