Cn-284 is a synthetic compound that belongs to the class of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) agents. It is primarily used in medical imaging to enhance the contrast of images obtained through magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This helps in better visualization of tissues and organs, aiding in accurate diagnosis. The compound is designed to improve the sensitivity and specificity of MRI scans. By interacting with magnetic fields, Cn-284 alters the relaxation times of nearby protons, resulting in clearer images. Its development represents a significant advancement in the field of medical diagnostics, particularly for detecting various diseases.
