Nitroxide radicals (or nitroxyl spin labels) are stable organic compounds with theoretical potential for use as a paramagnetic MRI contrast agent. Similar to gadolinium they have an unpaired electron, a property that provides enhancement in T1 based MRI, and a comparable pharmacokinetic. Depending on their structure and chemical bonding, different nitroxides formula may have the potential for use as cardiovascular imaging agents, to enhance the MR imaging on joints (e.g., dendrimer-linked nitroxides have a strong affinity for cartilage), to evaluate brain tumors and infarction, and as a contrast enhancement agent of body/abdominal NMR imaging. Nitroxides are rapidly enzymatically reduced in tissues to products that do not enhance the NMR signal, which can be a problem for MR imaging. In animal experiments with EPRI (electron paramagnetic resonance imaging), tissue redox studies show differences between tumors and normal tissues, which reflect their respective redox status consistent with the reduction/clearance of nitroxides.

Also called transversal. A plane perpendicular (rotated 90°) to the long axis of the human body.
