Abstract
New compounds endowed with a chelating property for paramagnetic bi- and trivalent metal ions, their chelates with said metal ions and their use as contrast agents in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are described. A method of obtaining images of organs and tissues of a human or animal body by means of nuclear magnetic resonance is also described.
