Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
Novel magnetic resonance imaging agents comprise complexes of paramagnetic ions with hydrazide derivatives of polyaminocarboxylic acid chelating agents. These novel imaging agents are characterized by excellent NMR image-contrasting properties and by high solubilities in physiological solutions. A novel method of performing an NMR diagnostic procedure involves administering to a warm-blooded animal an effective amount of a complex as described above and then exposing the warm-blooded animal to an NMR imaging procedure, thereby imaging at least a portion of the body of the warm-blooded animal.

Why it's free to use
- Filed November 12, 1991. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended November 12, 2011.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by November 12, 2013.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
