MR molecular imaging method based on 19F targeted nanoparticles and novel imaging sequences promises potential use in examining angiogeneic processes taking place in the ovaries and the endometrium in situ. Angiogenesis in the urogenital organ of the femal plays a vital role endometriosis, endoendometrial cancer and infertility.
