Any molecule used to measure organ perfusion in conjunction with imaging.
Characteristics of good perfusion agents:
to be admitted by the perfused tissue in proportion to perfusion,
to remain strictly intravascular, or
diffuse freely throughout the tissue of interest.

Perfusion agents used in MRI are small Gd-chelates (they do not cross blood brain barrier, but extravasate quickly into extracellular space in other organs) and SPIOS.

ProHance® consists of a nonionic gadolinium complex (Gadoteridol) used as a paramagnetic MR contrast agent.
ProHance® provides contrast enhancement of the brain, spine and surrounding tissues resulting in improved visualization (compared with unenhanced MRI) of lesions with abnormal vascularity or those thought to cause a disruption of the normal blood brain barrier. ProHance® can also be used for whole body contrast enhanced MRI including the head, neck, liver, breast, musculoskeletal system and soft tissue pathologies.

WARNING: NEPHROGENIC SYSTEMIC FIBROSIS Gadolinium-based contrast agents increase the risk for nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) in patients with acute or chronic severe renal insufficiency (glomerular filtration rate less than 30 mL/min/1.73m2), or acute renal insufficiency of any severity due to the hepato-renal syndrome or in the perioperative liver transplantation period.

See Gadoteridol.
