Size-Dependent MRI Relaxivity and Dual Imaging with Eu0.2Gd0.8PO4·H2O Nanoparticles
Three different sizes of Eu0.2Gd0.8PO4·H2O nanoparticles have been prepared to investigate the particle size influence on water proton relaxivity. Longitudinal relaxivity (r1) values increase for smaller particles, reaching as high as r1 = 6.13 mM(-1) s(-1) for a sample of 40 ± 4 nm particles, which, with a ratio of transverse/longitudinal relaxivity, r2/r1 = 1.27, are shown to be effective pos...
متن کاملIn vivo tomographic imaging with fluorescence and MRI using tumor-targeted dual-labeled nanoparticles
Dual-modality imaging combines the complementary advantages of different modalities, and offers the prospect of improved preclinical research. The combination of fluorescence imaging and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides cross-validated information and direct comparison between these modalities. Here, we report on the application of a novel tumor-targeted, dual-labeled nanoparticle (NP)...
متن کاملEffect of coating thickness of iron oxide nanoparticles on their relaxivity in the MRI
Objective(s):Iron oxide nanoparticles have found prevalent applications in various fields including drug delivery, cell separation and as contrast agents. Super paramagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) nanoparticles allow researchers and clinicians to enhance the tissue contrast of an area of interest by increasing the relaxation rate of water. In this study, we evaluate the dependency of hydrodynamic si...
متن کاملDesign of Novel Protein-based MRI Contrast Agernets with High Relaxivity and Stability for Biomedical Imaging
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the leading imaging technique for disease diagnostics. MRI contrast agents facilitate MRI technique to obtain tissue-specific image with improved sensitivity and signal-to-noise ratio. However, the applications of current MRI contrast agents are hampered by their uncontrolled blood circulation time, low relaxivity, and low specificity. To address such need, I...
متن کاملPorous Mn - Fe3O4 Nanoparticles with High T1 and T2 Relaxivity
Introduction: Targeted and smart molecular contrast agents have made it possible to detect events in the molecular scale in vivo (1). While many iron oxide based contrast agents with per ion T2 relaxivity of ~100mMs allow the detection of nM concentrations, common lanthanide chelates such as Gd-DTPA, with T1 relaxivity ~5mMs , require μM-mM concentrations, making the study of molecular events d...
