A novel MRI contrast agent synthesized by ion exchange method
Objective: In this study, the zeolite-coated iron oxide nanoparticles were evaluated as MRI contrast agent and effect of the nanocomposite synthesis method on MRI contrast was tested. Materials and Methods: Ion exchange method was used for synthesis of iron oxide-zeolite and the as prepared nanocomposite was characterized by XRD, FESEM and TEM. The nanocomposite toxicity in the cell culture, a...
متن کاملHydrothermal Synthesis of an Ethiodol Based Ferrofluid as a Potential MRI Contrast Agent
In the present work, stable ferrofluids containing oleic acid capped magnetite nanoparticles were synthesized via low temperature hydrothermal method. The physical and chemical properties of the synthesized particles were studied using TEM, XRD, AFM, VSM and PCS techniques. Mean particles size of the samples was between 4.5 and 10 nanometers, depending on experimental conditions. Effect ...
متن کاملGlucosamine Conjugated Gadolinium (III) Oxide Nanoparticles as a Novel Targeted Contrast Agent for Cancer Diagnosis in MRI
Background: Glucose transporter (Glut), a cellular transmembrane receptor, has a key role in the metabolism of cell glucose and is also associated with various human carcinomas.Objective: In this study, we evaluated a magnetic resonance (MR) imaging contrast agent for tumor detection based on paramagnetic gadolinium oxide (Gd2O3) coated polycyclodextrin (PCD) and mod...
متن کاملChlorotoxin-modified macromolecular contrast agent for MRI tumor diagnosis.
Clinical diagnosis of cancers using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is highly dependent on contrast agents, especially for brain tumors which contain blood-brain barrier (BBB) at the early stage. However, currently mostly used low molecular weight contrast agents such as Gd-DTPA suffer from rapid renal clearance, non-specificity, and low contrast efficiency. The aim of this paper is to investi...
متن کاملDesign and Synthesis of Manganese based MRI contrast agent: A dual contrast under different MRI parameters
Introduction: Application of Gadolinium (Gd) based MRI contrast agents is limited in patients with severe renal disease or following liver transplant due to association of a recently reported incurable and nonmitigable Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis (NSF) disease. These limitations give rise to choose Mn (having 5 unpaired electrons) as a better paramagnetic label to obtain MRI contrast agents. ...
