[Abstract] Introduction of magnetic resonance imaging contrast agents broadens greatly the clinical application of magnetic resonance imaging in daily practice including lesion detection, characterization and evaluation of therapy response. As compared to other imaging modalities, contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging holds a lot of unique advantages in various systems or organs and is widely used as a reliable imaging method in clinical settings. Recenly, development in technology would provide contrast agents with multiple function and further clinical implication. In this pictoral essay, we would brief about the current clinical application of magnetic resonance imaging contrast agents and future direction.
