Abstract
Readily available hydrophilic and small organofluorine moieties were condensed via “click chemistry” to generate nonionic hydrophilic fluorinated molecules with unique 19F MR signatures. These were used to fabricate stable liposome formulations for imaging various tissue types. This approach was tailored to exploit the broad spectrum of organic 19F molecular species and to generate probes with distinct 19F MRI signatures for simultaneous assessment of multiple molecular targets within the same target volume.
