[Abstract] It is always a challenge to keep improving the contrast of MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) for different tissues and organs in order to detect diseases. Contrast agents, which can enhance the relaxation of protons in water, are usually used to overcome such issue. Gadolinium-based complexes are the most predominantly used contrast agents owing to its good enhancement effect on the relaxation time, but they may be caused a serious disease called nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF), so they have a limited use in vivo. Manganese is a non-lanthanide paramagnetic metal, and possess a good enhancement effect on the relaxation due to five unpaired electrons of bivalent manganese. Manganese-based contrast agents include manganese salts, small organic chelates, macromolecule chelates, oxide nanopaticles and so on. Manganese has also play essential roles in cell biology and very low toxic in vivo, which enables the usage with a large dose in MRI. This paper reviews the recent applications and comments the future outlook of manganese-based contrast agents for MRI.
