Enhanced targeted MRI contrast using silica coated magnetite nanoparticles
Introduction MRI is a high spatial resolution non-invasive technique but it has low specificity for targeting explicit pathologies. In an effort to improve specificity, MRI contrast agents with strong paramagnetic properties such as Gadolinium have been developed. However recent reports of suspected deaths associated with gadolinium administration have severely limited their use [1-2]. Iron oxi...
متن کاملEnvironmentally-friendly preparation of water-dispersible magnetite nanoparticles.
Water-dispersible Fe(3)O(4) nanoparticles have been prepared by a simple solution method, in which the particle size (3-11 nm) can be tuned by simply adjusting the reaction temperature and time; the formation mechanism of Fe(3)O(4) nanoparticles is proposed and their low cytotoxicity has also been proved.
متن کاملMRI Contrast Enhancement using Gd2O3 Nanoparticles
There is an increasing interest for nanomaterials in biomedical applications and in this work, nanoparticles of gadolinium oxide (Gd2O3) have been investigated as a novel contrast agent for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Relaxation properties have been studied in aqueous solutions as well as in cell culture medium and the nanoparticles have been explored as cell labeling agents. The fluoresc...
متن کاملLarge-scale fabrication and application of magnetite coated Ag NW-core water-dispersible hybrid nanomaterials.
In this work, we report a large scale synthetic procedure that allows attachment of magnetite nanoparticles onto Ag NWs in situ, which was conducted in a triethylene glycol (TREG) solution with iron acetylacetonate and Ag NWs as starting materials. The as-prepared Ag NW/Fe3O4 NP composites are well characterized by SEM, TEM, XRD, XPS, FT-IR, and VSM techniques. It was found that the mass ratio ...
متن کاملGd2O3 nanoparticles in hematopoietic cells for MRI contrast enhancement
As the utility of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) broadens, the importance of having specific and efficient contrast agents increases and in recent time there has been a huge development in the fields of molecular imaging and intracellular markers. Previous studies have shown that gadolinium oxide (Gd(2)O(3)) nanoparticles generate higher relaxivity than currently available Gd chelates: In add...
