An enhancement of the relaxation rates and chemical shift change of imaging nuclei introduced by Magnevist, a mostly used magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) gadolinium contrast agent, was observed. The relaxation enhancement and chemical shift change depend on the size of the molecule where the imaged nuclear species is located and the concentration of Magnevist: the small molecules (water) show a perfect linear relationship between the concentration and the chemical shift change or relaxation enhancement while the macromolecules (PEG-2000 and PEG-6000) show a pronounced nonlinear effect.

Key words: magnetic resonance imaging contrast agent, relaxation, chemical shift, macromolecule
