Impact of Serum Proteins on MRI Contrast Agents: Cellular Binding and T2 relaxation.
Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) used as MRI contrast agents or for theranostic applications encounter a complex mixture of extracellular proteins that adsorb on the SPION surface forming a protein corona. Our goal was to understand how cellular binding and T2 relaxation times are affected by this protein corona. Our studies focused on carboxymethyl dextran-modified SPIONs, c...
متن کاملImpact of contrast agents on dose algorıthms of planning systems
Background: Use of contrast agents (CAs) during CT simulation for treatment planing system leads to changes in electron density. In this study we aimed to investigate the effect on calculated dose of various concentrations of CAs on treatment planing systems in different dose calculation algorithms. Materials and Methods: Contrast agent (0.769 mg/ml Iopromid) - water mixtures at con...
متن کاملRedox-sensitive contrast agents for MRI based on reversible binding of thiols to serum albumin.
DOTA-based complexes of gadolinium (Gd) bearing a thiol moiety on a propyl or hexyl arm were synthesized. It was hypothesized that these complexes would form reversible covalent linkages with human serum albumin (HSA), which contains a reactive thiol at cysteine-34. The binding constant of the hexyl complex to HSA was measured to be 64 mM(-1) and decreased to 17, 6.1, and 3.6 mM(-1) in the pres...
متن کاملSynthesis and Characterization of Chitosan Coated Manganese Zinc Ferrite Nanoparticles as MRI Contrast Agents
Manganese zinc ferrite nanoparticles (MZF NPs) were synthesized by using a direct, efficient and environmental friendly hydrothermal method. To improve the colloidal stability of MZF NPs for biomedical applications, NPs were coated with chitosan by ionic gelation technique using sodium tripolyphosphate (TPP) as crosslinker. The synthesized NPs were characterized by X ray diffraction (XRD) analy...
متن کاملDual Contrast Cellular MRI
Introduction: Negative contrast MRI methods utilizing local magnetic susceptibility shifting (LMS) agents have become an active area of cellular imaging research. However, visualizing and tracking labeled cells on the basis of negative contrast is often plagued by limited specificity and/or sensitivity. Here we report on a cellular MRI method that generates a new contrast with a distinct topolo...
