Cerebral ischemia is one of the leading causes of mortality and disability in infants and adults and its timely diagnosis is essential for an efficient treatment. We present a methodology for fast detection and real-time monitoring of fluctuations of calcium ions associated with focal ischemia using a molecular functional MRI approach. We used a dinuclear paramagnetic gadolinium(III) complex chelate that changes MR image contrast through its reversible interaction with extracellular calcium ions ...[more]
