We examined the usefulness of MnCl 2 entrapped in liposomes as a liver specific contrast agent for magnetic resonance imaging. Toxicity experiments showed that the effective dose for imaging experiments was 7 to 11 times lower than the LD 50 of free MnCl 2. In rats with implanted liver tumors, liposome encapsulated MnCl 2 caused a two-to three-fold increase in the relaxation rate of the liver while having little effect on the relaxation rate of tumor tissue. T 1 weighted, magnetic resonance images obtained at 0.5 T of an R3230 adenocarcinoma implanted in the liver showed an increase in the signal intensity of both normal liver and tumor tissue after the injection of free MnCl 2 (25 μmole/kg). However, after the injection of liposome encapsulated MnCl 2 (40 μmole/kg) the liver exhibited a marked increase in signal intensity with little change in the signal intensity of the tumor tissue. These results suggest that liposome encapsulated MnCl 2 has excellent potential as a liver specific contrast agent for the improved detection of liver metastases.
